Description
Kyle Schmierer
Filmmaker/Storyteller – from Script to Screen
I am an exceptionally talented, award winning filmmaker/storyteller. I am adept in many different genres and styles: including music videos, commercials, TV shows, documentaries, feature films, corporate videos, or Internet promotion pieces. A vast life experience around the world informs my work and eclectic taste. I am hard working, able to fully create, implement, and direct my own unique vision with stories I create or the materials of others while truly collaborating with the actors and all the many other artists required to produce a great film. I am a producer-writer-director, cinematographer and Avid editor who request a few minutes of your time to review my work and meet so we may determine if we are a good match.
As well as working in L.A. and around the world, I was also Film and HD instructor at post secondary proprietary arts Colleges in Arizona & North Carolina.
I have finished two documentary format programs on the Philippines, which I directed, shot and edited for an internationally broadcast television show, "Word in the World." This show had more than 4 million estimated viewers in the United States alone. Previously when I lived in Hollywood, I directed, shot, and redesigned this series as well as creating a new show opening.
I have also recently completed writing, directing, co-producing, shooting and editing the independent feature film, "In the Dark of Night" filmed in Wyoming, which is currently in post-production. For three years I had been in the wilds of Wyoming. I came up from LA for the solitude to write feature scripts.
Earlier I lived and worked in Hollywood for over six years, and before that I went to film school at New York University.
I have a breadth and depth of filmmaking skills with a unique vision that will make any film project successful. I have worked as a director, cinematographer, editor, and on the several crew positions for various projects. Each position has helped me become a better filmmaker. This cross training also enables me to communicate my vision more effectively to the many departments and professionals required in filmmaking.
Thank you for your time. My demo reel is 8 minutes long with several selections of my work. My demo reel, resume, additional film segments and artwork can be accessed on the web at: http://www.Amadin.biz
I directed, shot and edited everything on the reel. Most of it I also wrote and produced as well. You can request a DVD copy of my reel. I have won several prestigious Telly Awards for my work.
* The Telly Awards are like regional Emmy's that are judged by industry professionals to recognize outstanding work.

OTHER SKILLS
Still photography – 12 yrs
PADI scuba certified, boating, climbing, backcountry camping, etc.
Working knowledge of Spanish; experience and study in India, Tibet, Nepal,
Colombia, Mexico, Europe, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Canada, Malaysia
I received a BA/BS degree from Northland Liberal Arts/Environmental College. Upon graduating Magna Cum Laude with my self-designed and self-directed major in Global Environmental Studies, I formed Amadin, a non-profit media organization. I went on to produce and direct multimedia projects for Amadin in India and Tibet, covering all aspects from conception to presentation including research, trip planning, development, writing, photography, location scouting, audio recording, interviews, and post production.
I began to recognize the power of the medium of film/TV to help the world in our time of crisis and as a medium of self-expression where my talent, passion and purpose lay. Then I apprenticed with a video production company to begin my training in videography, production, and editing. In the fall of 1994, I completed the internationally acclaimed New York University/S.C.E. Intensive Filmmaking Program. There I participated in several film projects and directed and shot two short films. Along with my own reading and study, I have also taken courses on directing and producing from Film/Video Arts of Manhattan and Independent Feature Project West. Most recently, Montana Edit's Masters Program - a comprehensive training program of certified AVID courses, was successfully completed. By working within the Hollywood film industry, I have learned hands on while working in a number of technical crafts. Departments I have freelanced in include camera, sound, set lightning, grip, and production.
While continuing to pursue educational and philanthropic agendas, my primary calling is a lifetime commitment, dedication, and passion to continue to learn and develop as a filmmaker.
