Background

Gosse was born on

short films and features. He was married to Robin Tunney but divorced in 2006. In 2010, he joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Filmmaking in Producing.[2]

New York operations

Gosse founded independent film company The Shooting Gallery with Larry Meistrich in 1991. His collaborators included Hal Hartley, Ted Hope, Nick Gomez and Michael Almereyda. The company's first feature was Gomez' Laws of Gravity (1992). Gosse also directed The Last Home Run, filmed in 1996 and released in 1998.

Gosse pushed the boundaries of "lo-fi" filmmaking when he produced Almereyda's

PixelVision feature, Another Girl Another Planet (1992). It was cited by the National Society of Film Critics
in 1992 "for expanding the possibilities of experimental filmmaking."

At The Shooting Gallery, Gosse supported other first-time filmmakers including Morgan J. Freeman, Danny Leiner and Billy Bob Thornton.[citation needed]

In 1995, Gosse co-produced the

Venice International Film Festival for her portrayal of a woman with Tourette syndrome. In its American premiere, the film was panned by some critics.[3]

Gosse's follow-up was an

nonfiction
book A Violent Act.

By late 1999, Gosse was at work on another adaptation, a play by theater scribe Wendy Hammond. The stage play, Julie Johnson, was shot as a feature film beginning in 2000 and it starred Lili Taylor, Courtney Love, Mischa Barton and Spalding Gray. It was released in 2005 by Regent Entertainment.[4]

Los Angeles operations

The Shooting Gallery went out of business in 2001 and Gosse moved west to

TV pilots and films. These would include Tim McCann's Runaway (2005) and Almereyda's Tonight At Noon (2006), the latter starring Connie Nielsen, Ethan Hawke, Rutger Hauer, and Lauren Ambrose
.

Gosse lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and developing a new docu-series. He spent time working for the 2008 Democratic Party nomination of Barack Obama.[citation needed]
