FEATURE FILMS

My father would’ve been proud to see both of these features reviewed in what he called, the good ol’ New York Times. Some day I’ll write about the experience of writing and collaborating on these films.

“The movie’s boldness and horrifying logic get under your skin.”

-Jeanne Catsoulis, The New York Times

THE QUITTER

“A textured, heartfelt drama ... a simple story well told.”

-Anita Gates, The New York Times

A failed baseball player has his life upended when his ex-girlfriend returns to the neighborhood with the 7-year-old daughter he never knew he had. A grounded, slice-of-life portrait of a man trying, awkwardly but sincerely, to become the best version of himself.

SHORTS

My short films have played at top film festivals including Tribeca, Palm Springs, and Aspen Shortsfest. I encourage all screenwriters to try their hand at directing at some point.

THE IGNORANT BLISS OF SUN AND MOON

DIRECTED BY JOHN HYAMS
WRITTEN BY BILL GULLO - 6 mins

Adapted from my short story of the same name, the sun and moon do their best to help a struggling everyman hold onto the fleeting moments that make life worth living. We shot this over one weekend with a crew that consisted of me and John and a cast of one: Scott Sowers (RIP).

  • “Bill Gullo is a great collaborator. He knows just the right questions to ask me about character and plot to help spur on my own writing, while also delivering very concrete ideas for specific story points and dialogue.”

    – Bart Freundlich | Writer/Director (After the Wedding, Myth of Fingerprints)

  • “I’ve known Bill for almost ten years now and have been privileged to read all of his scripts. Bill is always incredible with his character work and dialogue, but has gone to the next level with the plotting of this latest script, making him such a diverse and talented writer.”

    — Christopher Kopp | Producer, AZA Films

  • “I’ve worked with countless talented film and television writers in my career, but few have the ability to truly rewrite themselves. Bill is one of those rare exceptions who understands tone, character, and structure so well that he can objectively deconstruct his own words and rebuild a story over and over again until it’s exactly right. He is the perfect person to bring on as a consultant for both emerging and seasoned writers looking to gain constructive criticism and ideas from someone who knows what he’s talking about.”
