EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has a new trailer for Alaskan Nets, a sports documentary executive produced by Chris Pratt and his production company Indivisible Productions that Good Deed Entertainment is releasing on digital and VOD on April 8.
The film from director Jeff Harasimowicz takes viewers to an island that lies off the coast of Southeast Alaska. Remote and largely hidden from the outside world, it’s home to the Tsimshian natives of Alaska’s last remaining native reserve: Metlakatla. For more than a century, two sacred traditions have defined Metlakatla: fishing and basketball. Audiences will witness the improbable journey of cousins Danny Marsden and DJ King, fishermen and stars of the high school basketball team, as they lead their team and town toward their first state championship in more than 30 years—the only thing that will bring life back to an island that has undergone unimaginable tragedy.
Alaskan Nets made its world premiere last year in Documentary Competition at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, picking up its Audience Choice Award. Jeff Harasimowicz produced for Raised By Wolves with Ryan Welch of AO Films, in association with SLAM and RTG Features. Pratt—who spent some of his childhood in Alaska—exec produced alongside Jon Schumacher and Sahir Iqbal. Check out the trailer for Alaskan Nets above.
