William Alfred Gibson (1869-1929) was an Australian film producer and exhibitor best known for his collaboration with Millard Johnson. He was one of the producers of The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) and helped establish Amalgamated Pictures.[1] Gibson originally worked as a chemist for William Johnson and supplied chemicals to early film exhibitors. He and Johnson's son Millard went into exhibition themselves then helped produced The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906), arguably the world's first feature film. This was made with the Tait brothers with whom Gibson and Johnson formed Amalgamated Pictures, which later merged into Australasian Films, of which Gibson was managing director.[2]
