Andrew Gori – Head of Development
Between 2000 and 2007 Andrew Gori received the B.R.R.A.V.E. Award, The Seniors to Seniors Scholarship Award, and the Maya Deren Award for his feature film Every-Man as well as top finalist credits for the Roy W. Dean Writer’s Grant and the Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab for his screenplay “The Amorous Ones.”
In 2008 he created The Metric System – a collaborative network of artists and thinkers geared toward “supporting collaborations among artists in New York City” – and through this produced two events (NAIVETE! And NAIVETE! II), in addition to his New Filmmakers participating short film, The Escapists.
Last September his co-written script for My Thirty Year War was featured at the IFP Film Market as a finalist for the Kodak Grand Jury Award for Best Screenplay.
In 2009 Mr. Gori joined forces with François Murray to develop original material for Lux Capta Films. He continues producing films, events and publications through The Metric System.
Claire Johnson – Development Associate
In 2004, after her time offering support to acquisitions and programming at Horrornet, Claire Johnson interned for New Horizons and the legendary Roger Corman before moving on to full-time duties as the assistant manager at Cosmic Comics, where her love of the graphic medium and genre material was left to blossom, unfettered. The breadth of Claire’s knowledge of cult media led her to William Lustig’s Blue Underground, where she worked directly with Mr. Lustig as a copywriter and research assistant at this quintessential distributor of cult cinema releases. Claire joined the Lux Capta Films team in October of 2009, doubling-up on her duties as assistant manager at Giant Robot, NYC.
