Gary is a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry with nearly four decades of experience. His inclusive storytelling approach is born of a unique entry point into the film industry — through the world of street and circus performing. This quest for connection inspired him to explore VHS as a medium to democratize storytelling, leading to creating participatory media projects with prisoners, hospitalized children and developmentally challenged adults.
Films from this era include “Prisoners,” now in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Pompidou in Paris. Inspired by the connective and personal power of television, Gary founded Providence Pictures in 1996. Under the Providence Pictures banner, he has made more than 60 films for the world’s leading broadcasters and been honored with the industry’s most prestigious awards.
