Storyville Pictures hits the big screen this summer with the release of a 4:45 minute thriller titled The Drop, directed by the studio's own Glen Owen. The branded entertainment piece for Turner Network Television is part of a national advertising push to position the network as one that "knows drama." Owen worked closely with TNT's Director of Entertainment Promotions Matt Bunting on the piece, which centers on the classic ransom drop. "These branded entertainment pieces are shown in movie theaters throughout the country - played over and over. Actors are attracted by a good story as well as a chance to be involved in this new medium, which is gaining a lot of momentum right now," he explains. "The Drop" was shot in Atlanta.
