A still from the short film - Fishing Without Nets, Directed by Cutter Hodierne Courtesy of Sundance Film Festival -
Filmed in Kenya, East Africa, Cutter Hodierne’s 17 minute short ‘Fishing Without Nets’ is a story about Somali pirates. After being noticed for his self-made short videos Cutter Hodierne dropped out of college in Boston and decided to take a plunge into film-making. With a bit of luck at the age of 22 he was touring the world with U2 as their filmmaker.
With a savvy sense for cultivating his own persona, the director claims his parents sold their possessions just before he was born, quit their jobs and bought a 32‐foot cutter-rigged sailboat from which he was christened Cutter. It was smooth sailing for the next three years of his life at least, around the South Pacific, which might have given him a pirate’s eye for roving and adventure.
