ABOUT

Having written, produced, and directed their own films for the past 20 years, Throughline partners John W. Bosher and Chris Charles approach each project from the filmmaker’s perspective and pride themselves on their Midwestern work ethic and integrity. After graduating with honors from Columbia College Chicago, they produced the acclaimed mafia thriller Chicago Overcoat, which sold to Showtime, 20th Century Fox, and Netflix. John and Chris also produced We Are Columbine, a heartfelt documentary about four survivors of the infamous school shooting who return to the campus 20 years later to share their experiences and journeys toward healing. Their crime drama The Cleaner, starring Shelley Long, Luke Wilson, and Lynda Carter, is currently streaming on Hulu.
