Fine Art Magazine caught up in a recent phone interview with Whitney Ransick, director and co producer of Misfire: The Rise and Fall of The Shooting Gallery. Ransick offered a fascinating history, a glimpse in to his unbiased, detailed documentary reportage. The filmmaker describes the inception of The Shooting Galley and how all involved rode the wave within the indie film industry to notoriety, which finally ends in the fiscal collapse of the production house. A fate other Indie film houses share Ransick states in general over time. It is the unabashed truth, innovative energy, and stellar changes in movie making for all moviegoers that makes the MISFIRE: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SHOOTING GALLERY a must see film.

Premiering at the Hampton’s International Film Festival Saturday Oct. 12, East Hampton NY, the feature length documentary, The Rise and Fall of The Shooting Gallery, Ransick dialogues with passion and purpose, the voice of The Shooting Gallery community. He documents the cohesive evolution of this iconic facility, originally more of a communal experiment experience, as it is transformed into a multi million-dollar factory over time. Ransick notes the extensive projects developed at The Shooting Gallery along the way. It was astounding to understand the breadth and depth of The Shooting Gallery, a chiseled profile as an indie leader, fueled initially by collective creativity, as Ransick relays the story.
Mr. Ransick, with co producers Gil Gilbert and Bob Gosse in Misfire: The Rise and Fall of The Shooting Gallery worked in tandem to weave a complex montage. The Film’s extensively edited insights touch universally on the creative tech revolution of the 1990’s through 2001.
