Michael W. Barnard
Michael W. Barnard Producer/Director/Director of Photography
While Barnard has worked extensively as a Producer, Director, Director of Photography, Editor and Designer, his greatest strength is as an all-around Film-maker. With an unusually wide and intimate grasp of the technical details of making films, Barnard is able to cross-reference this extensive technical knowledge with his highly developed artistic vision and vocabulary.
Along with these qualities, Barnard brings energy and optimistic good cheer to every project.
His film works have included a series of early experimental “FieldFilms” in the 1960/70’s, (shown at Millennium in New York and many other venues around the U.S.), directing the filmmaking department for an international non-profit organization during the 70’s. This included the design, installation and operation of a complete color and B&W film laboratory. Since coming to Los Angeles in 1978, Barnard has worked on a wide variety of films ranging from the Greenpeace film “Voyage of the Peacock”, to the features “Nights In White Satin” (Director), “Against The Wind” (Writer), “The Invisible Kid” (Director of Photography), “Cries of Silence” (Co-Producer/Director of Photography), “90404 Changing” (Producer/Director/DP), “Lock & Roll Forever” (Editor,VisualFX creation), “The Outermost Place” (Writer), “The Transfiguration of Fast Eddie Rose” (Writer), as well as numerous music videos, commercials and documentaries.
He has also, in the past decade, created a series of photographic montage artworks called Photofields. These works have been assembled from Barnard’s personal archive of images that has been collected over the past thirty years from around the world. Michael’s Photofields have been exhibited extensively over the last few years and can be currently found online at www.photofields.com.
