What I'm looking for

I’m a 38-year veteran Producer/Director/Writer/Videographer/Editor

Brian Dzyak is a screenwriter, author, and 30-year industry veteran. As a cinematographer and camera operator, he's traveled the world on movies including TITANIC, INCEPTION, the FAST & FURIOUS and BOURNE franchises plus the recent Robert DeNiro film, ALTO KNIGHTS, with directors including James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Barry Levinson amongst many others.

His book What I Really Want to Do: On Set in Hollywood is used in film programs nationwide.

Brian’s childhood love of Star Wars inspired him to move from the quiet cornfields of Ohio to pursue this unlikely career path in Los Angeles, where he most recently has been filming George Lucas himself, documenting the progress of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Brian has yet explain to George that he is to blame for all of this.
