Summerhill Media Series Lead D360’s Slate

Distribution360’s (D360) growing portfolio of new unscripted programs and documentaries includes a pair of new series from Summerhill Media: There’s Something You Should Know and Fish’N Chicks.

A fresh take on the dating genre, There’s Something You Should Know sees singles with physical disabilities choose two dates after chatting to three prospects over the phone. After meeting in person and revealing their disabilities, the singles choose whether or not they wish to have a second date with either of their suitors. D360 will be selling the finished episodes from season one at MIPTV, as well as the format.

Fish’N Chicks, a new spin on the traditional fishing show, features fishing gals Laura and Carole, who invite viewers out on the water with them. The duo catches fish with local pros and ends each day with a rustic-gourmet meal made from their catch. Available now is an initial run of three episodes shot in 4K. At MIPTV, D360 will be looking for broadcast and platform partners to finance further production on the series.

Summerhill documentaries Manifest: Power of Thought, which explores the power of thought and its influence on our lives; and A Perfect Cure, about the emotional journey of vision loss and self-acceptance, are among D360’s titles as well.

Also on offer from the company’s doc slate are marblemedia’s Born By Fire: A Secret History of Glass Blowing; Murder by Shark from Southern Network Productions in association with Partners in Motion; and Sruki Films’ and Hollywood Suite’s Ferris’ Room.
