M E M B E R P O R T R A I T Michael Chapman, ASC “I spent my early childhood in the days before television. Movies were everything to us; cinema was truly ‘the church of the 20th century.’ “Through a series of accidents, I stumbled into the industry, and American Cinematographer reassured me that somehow I might actually survive there. It seemed to be written by and about people like me, who struggled and worried. It also gave me access to the minds of people I’d met and respected. “AC is a generous magazine. There are no secrets. No matter what our style or method, we’re all cinematographers, and AC expresses the insight that comes with that unique vantage point.” — Michael Chapman, ASC TO SUBSCRIBE BY PHONE: Call (800) 448-0145 (U.S. only) (323) 969-4333 or visit the ASC Web site W W W .
