TSG Pictures (also known as The Shooting Gallery) was a film production company established in 1990 by Bob Gosse, Larry Meistrich, Larry Russo, Whitney Ransick, Christopher Walsh, Eli Kabillio, Daniel Silverman and David Tuttle in association with Hal Hartley, Ted Hope, Nick Gomez and Michael Almereyda. Larry Meistrich was key in raising financing for the newly found film consortium. Its mission was to nurture New York City filmmakers to make director-driven pictures. Meistrich brought into the firm Steve Carlis to share financial oversight responsibilities and bring in new funding sources.
An important participant in the New York independent film industry of the 1990s, associated with fellow New York City director-driven production companies including Good Machine, Killer Films, it produced a number of critically successful films. It was financially powered mostly by two significant business successes, Laws of Gravity (1992) and Sling Blade (1996). It was also noted for its Shooting Gallery Film Series of art-house releases. The company expanded and pursued a variety of business models including ventures in the new media sector, ultimately failing in 2001 under the weight of expenses and debts.Reports of its closure were as early as June.
A 2013 documentary by Whitney Ransick, Misfire: The Rise and Fall of the Shooting Gallery, covers the history of the company.

Focus Features LLC is an American independent film production and distribution company, owned by Comcast as a division of Universal Pictures, which is itself a division of its wholly owned subsidiary of NBCUniversal. Focus Features distributes independent and foreign films in the United States and internationally.
Focus Features was formed in 2002 by James Schamus and David Linde and formed from the divisional merger of USA Films, Universal Focus and Good Machine, as well as the several assets of the Vivendi-affiliated film studio StudioCanal. USA Films was created by Barry Diller in 1999 when he purchased Interscope Communications, October Films and Gramercy Pictures from Seagram and merged the three labels together; USA Films was led by Scott Greenstein. Universal Focus was the specialty film arm of Universal Pictures that was created in 1999 as Universal Classics, which was led by Paul Hardart and Claudia Gray, to replace the October Films label in order to get a group of titles to be distributed by USA Films, focused on the marketing of niche-based acquisitions by Universal Pictures International, Working Title, WT2 Productions, Revolution Films and DNA Films, and eventually rebranded into Universal Focus by 2000.
In February 2016, Focus merged with Universal Pictures International Productions as part of a new strategy to "align the acquisition and production of specialty films in the global market".
