Among the films he marketed: Pulp Fiction, Scream, CopLand, Good Will Hunting, Muriel's Wedding, Flirting With Disaster, Trainspotting, Slingblade, Emma, Bullets Over Broadway, The Postman/Il Postino, The English Patient, Life is Beautiful and Shakespeare in Love.

Prior to joining Miramax, Gill worked for six years at Columbia and TriStar Pictures, culminating in a three-year tenure as Senior Vice President in the marketing department. Before that, he served as a general assignment reporter for Newsweek magazine and for the Los Angeles Times.
