Bob Gosse
Bob Gosse started making feature films in the late 1980's with his cousin and SUNY Purchase classmate Hal Hartley (Trust, Henry Fool). After working on Trust, Gosse made his first meaningful impression as a producer on the NYC film scene in 1992. With his partner Larry Meistrich, Gosse went on to produce Nick Gomez's feature debut Laws of Gravity. That same year, Gosse and Meistrich founded the noted independent film company, The Shooting Gallery which has made a name for itself by producing no- and low-budget pictures for edgy, young directors such as Billy Bob Thornton. The Shooting Gallery produced Thornton's Sling Blade, which received a nod from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Since then, Gosse has produced a number of feature films including Handgun, Another Girl, Another Planet, New Jersey Drive and The Last Home Run, which he also directed. Directing then became his main focus and he made the film Niagara, Niagara. This film won the best actress award at the Venice Film Festival and then went on to the Sundance Film festival before its US theatrical
release just last year. Niagara, Niagara was been nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards. Recently, Gosse produced the feature Runaway with Aaron Stanford, which had its world premiere at the 2005 Tribeca International Film Festival.
