Fort Point Media

New York Times bestselling authors Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, one of the premier non-fiction writing teams in the industry, founded film/TV/streaming production company Fort Point Media in 2018.

Together, they co-wrote the definitive story of the Boston Marathon bombings in “Boston Strong: A City’s Triumph Over Tragedy,” which was adapted for the 2017 Mark Wahlberg film “Patriots Day.” They also wrote “Ice Bucket Challenge: Pete Frates and the Fight against ALS,” which is in development as a Netflix feature film, with Sherman and Wedge attached as producers. They also wrote the 2018 New York Times bestseller, “12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady’s Fight for Redemption,” which is in development as a feature film with the producers/writers of “The Fighter,” “Patriots Day,” and “The Finest Hours.” Sherman co-wrote “The Finest Hours” book, which was the basis of the hit Disney film starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck.

Fort Point Media has several projects in various stages of development, including “Ice Bucket Challenge,” “12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady’s Fight for Redemption,” “Tracking the Wild Coomba: The Life of Legendary Extreme Skier Doug Coombs,” and “Thatcher Island,” a thriller based on Sherman’s 2014 book, “Animal.”

“Thatcher Island” is in development at 20th Century Fox with the team behind “BlacKkKlansman,” while “Tracking the Wild Coomba” is in development with Outside Studios, the driving force behind such hit films as “127 Hours,” “Everest,” “Into the Wild,” and “The Perfect Storm,” among others.
