FilmRise latest thriving business to join Industry City
Sunset Park’s Industry City continues to grow.
This past October, the facility welcomed one of its newest tenants, digital distribution company FilmRise, distributor of such notable shows as Showtime’s Emmy Award-winning series “Years of Living Dangerously.” On Wednesday, February 25, the company held a party to celebrate its new 5,000-square-foot industrial office space. Attendees were treated to food and drink as well as an art exhibit.
President of FilmRise, Jack Fisher discussed the process of moving to the growing area. Before the move, Fisher’s company was operating out of the basement of his brother Danny’s brownstone in Park Slope. “We build the basement to be like an editing room, and that was a whole company that started out just with the two of us. Then we had 12 people working suddenly.”
