TSG Pictures

TSG Pictures (also known as The Shooting Gallery) was a film production company established in 1990 by Larry Meistrich. An important participant in the New York independent film industry of the 1990s, it produced a number of critically successful films, while it was financially powered mostly by two signicant business successes, Laws of Gravity (1992) and Sling Blade (1996). It was also noted for its Shooting Gallery Film Series of art-house releases.[1] The company expanded and pursued a variety of business models including ventures in the new media sector,[2] ultimately failing in 2001 under the weight of expenses and debts.[3]

A 2013 documentary, Misfire: The Rise and Fall of the Shooting Gallery, covers the history of the company.[4]
