June 20, 2014 — Think Media Studios, a media production company in Mayfield Heights, has agreed to a multi-platform distribution agreement with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and two other companies for its Sundance Film Festival award-winning film “Fishing Without Nets.”
The film, which tells the story of pirates in Somalia from the perspective of a struggling, young Somali fisherman, will be available later this year to own on Fox Digital HD and via rental on Video On Demand, Think Media announced. Via Alamo Drafthouse and TUGG, the film will receive a limited theatrical engagement. “Fishing Without Nets,” a co-production with New York-based Vice Media, was shot in Kenya for 10 weeks at the end of 2012 and the start of 2013.
Landing a distribution deal with Fox is a significant achievement for Think Media. “Fishing Without Nets” was the company’s first feature-length, fiction film.
“It’s been an incredible ride, one that we were happy to be taking with Vice,” said Brian Glazen, president of Think Media Studios, in a news release. “It has long been my goal to build a company with a team that has the capacity to do everything from commercial video to feature films and everything in between. This team has that capability, and we hope to continue to bring our passion projects to Cleveland. This city has so much to offer the film industry.”
