Written By Larry Gross
Screenwriter Larry Gross has written on projects that range from blockbuster like “48 Hours” to, sublime, delicate and less commercial films like “Chinese Box.” And in between come such films as the under-seen “Geronimo: An American Legend” (1993), “We Don’t Live Here Anymore” (2004) and “Prozac nation” (2001). For his three-day visit to the Starz FilmCenter, we’ve chosen films that cover very different territory from one another, but share Larry Gross’ remarkable capacity for understanding people and situations, and the courage that allows him to go deeper than most filmmakers dare.
