CLARK
BIRCHMEIER
DIRECTOR, CINEMATOGRAPHER, AND PRODUCER
Having been raised on a farm, Birchmeier was instilled a hard work ethic, however also being in the country and having limited access to quality broadcast entertainment, he frequented the local video store picking out a few movies every weekend to watch at night. VHS after VHS. After a brief six years of studying at the university, he walked away with a B.A.A. in Cinema and Advertising, which has led to nearly a decade of work in Movies, Television, Music Videos, and Commercials. Having worked on over 200 projects as a crew member in the International Cinematographer's Guild, he had the opportunity to learn from million dollar cinematographers and also dive into a greater understanding of digital cameras technology, and how it all factored into the bottom line of digital workflow and post-production. More so, Birchmeier is often attributed with being a walking encyclopedia of movies, television and music. You can learn more about him at his website: www.clarkbirchmeier.com
