Bobby Bukowski shot four films in 2010, starting with The Ledge, with director Matthew Chapman, which premiered at 2011's Sundance Film Festival. Bukowski then went to Jamaica to shoot director Christopher Browne's Ghett'a Life and closed out a year of shooting by reuniting with director Oren Moverman and actors Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson on Rampart, with whom he had previously teamed on The Messenger. The police drama features a hugely talented cast, including Steve Buscemi, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Ice Cube and Anne Heche.
Bukowski also finished shooting the CBS pilot The 2-2. He was shooting the eature Struck by Lightning for director Brian Dannelly. Bukowski's prolific career includes more than two dozen feature films, including The Guitar for director Amy Redford, Arlington Road for Mark Pellington, John Madden's Ethan Frome and Kari Skogland 's The Stone Angel.
Born in New York City, Bukowski attended SUNY at Stony Brook, earning his masters degree in biochemistry. En route to medical school, he left the United States for extensive travel in Europe and Asia. This adventure led to a job as photographer's assistant in Paris. Soon after, he was enlisted to archive a Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage, led by the Dalai Lama, to all the sacred Buddhist sites along the Ganges River. This marked the first time he had a moving camera in his hand. Returning home, he entered the Graduate Film program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he received his master of fine arts degree.
Some of his other credits as a cinematographer are: Anna, Men of Respect, Thousand Pieces of Gold, Dogfight, Oedipus Rex, Household Saints, Golden Gate, Search and Destroy, The Tie That Binds, If These Walls Could Talk (Nancy Savoca's segment 1974), The Last Time I Committed Suicide, Crime and Punishment in Suburbia, The Dying Gaul, and The Hawk is Dying.
