Canadian-born cinematographer Thomas Burstyn made his feature debut supplying the film noirish imagery for 80s Kiwi chillers The Lost Tribe, and Mr Wrong. Since then Burstyn has stacked up Canadian award nominations, plus an Emmy nom for The 4400. Working with Kiwi partner Barbara Sumner-Burstyn, he has recently expanded into directing docos, winning two Qantas awards for the Berlin-selected This Way of Life.
To be a cinematographer is to be both an interpreter and a creator.
