Nick Gomez
Young American filmmaker who made his feature directing and writing debut with the low-budget slice-of-Brooklyn-life film, "Laws of Gravity" (1992). Telling the story of childhood friends who, for varying reasons, turn to low-level crime, the film was hailed for both its visceral camerawork and authentic street smarts. A graduate of the SUNY Purchase film program, Gomez previously worked as a sound recordist and editor for fellow alum Hal Hartley on his features "The Unbelievable Truth" (1989) and "Trust" (1990) and the short "Theory of Achievement" (1991).
