Ah, but a movie projector doesn't exactly produce patterns of light, it produces images; most modern projectors must be adjusted for the distance to the screen in order for the image to form properly. The image doesn't form until the pattern of light hits a screen. The ability to stop images from forming properly is a side effect of the principals modern movie projectors run on, not something inherent in the concept of a projector. A telekenetic projector would (obviously) run on different principals. As such equipment is currently fictional, and the principles it would hypothetically run on are unknown if they exist, one can't say with certainty that a different currently fictional piece of equipment (shields) would stop those hypothesised principles from performing their task. If Pax wants the TK Projectors in his fiction to skip shields, they can.
