Amit Bhattacharya

Amit Bhattacharya was born in Bethesda, Maryland. He grew up in India where

an early fascination with cinema and still photography led to his

first job as a post-production assistant.

He moved to the U.S. in 1986 and enrolled in the undergraduate

film program at the Columbia College Hollywood. There he was

able to explore his penchant for cinematography by shooting

most of the school's films that were made during his senior year.

After graduation, he continued to shoot independent projects,

including a feature INHUMAN NATURE with writer/director

Mitch Brian, as well as a number of music videos for cable

networks in Spain.

In 1991 Mr. Bhattacharya was accepted as a Cinematography

Fellow at the American Film Institute. Concurrent with his

fellowship he has continued to work as a free lance

cinematographer.
