Misfire: The Rise and Fall of the Shooting Gallery

MISFIRE: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SHOOTING GALLERY is a documentary about the independent film company responsible for art-house hits YOU CAN COUNT ON ME and LAWS OF GRAVITY; a company that rose to the top of the independent film scene in the 90s before financial risk-taking and mismanagement caused it to crash.In 1991, a group of young filmmakers banded together to make films and found great success producing Billy Bob Thornton's Academy Award winning SLING BLADE. But the company's success came at a cost and it eventually collapsed under massive debt and questionable business practices.MISFIRE is a story of passion, hubris and missed opportunity, where the question of 'what happened' is asked not just of the company, but independent film itself.
