Fishbowl Worldwide Media is an independent production company with a focus on transmedia development and production. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, was started by Vin Di Bona (a television producer known for MacGyver, Entertainment Tonight, and most notably America's Funniest Home Videos) and Bruce Gersh (previously a senior vice president, Strategy and Operations of Intellectual Property at the William Morris Agency).
FishBowl Worldwide Media utilizes partnerships with other entertainment companies (NBC, Fox, Discovery Channel, MTV and truTV) as well as its own internal creative teams to create original content for film, television, digital platforms, and several brands. FishBowl operates by turning each of its projects into specific brands through a variety of platforms aimed at engaging its audience. In January 2012, Fishbowl launched a YouTube channel called Petsami designed "for pets, by pets". In February 2012, FishBowl announced a partnership with the internet television network, Revision3. Through this agreement, Revision3 distributes FishBowl's popular YouTube series CuteWinFail, which is now in its fourth season.
FishBowl produces several scripted and unscripted programs that utilize alternative methods of financial strategies. One of the latest projects, Beyond Repair, has FishBowl partnering with 20th Century Fox Television. It is a comedy about a family business run by its dysfunctional family members. It is written and co-executive produced by Sameer Asad Gardezi of "Modern Family" and "Mr. Sunshine".
