Winner of the Directing Award: U.S. Dramatic award, if Cutter Hodierne’s directorial debut got caught in our nets it’s got a lot to do with the original short film on which this was based on. Raw, intense with poetically rendered portions, Fishing Without Nets is a fierce exploration of the situation in Somalia.

Gist: This is a story of pirates in Somalia, told from the perspective of the pirates.

Release Date: Naturally receiving its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S Dramatic Comp, this will likely be an international film festival fave and be shown theatrically sometime this year.
