Life and career

[edit]

Amy Vincent was born in Boston, Massachusetts.[3] She studied theater arts and film at the University of California, Santa Cruz from 1977 to 1983, and studied cinematography at the American Film Institute from 1990 to 1992.[3] Her first job in the film industry was in the archive dept. of Warner Bros. Vincent was selected for an internship in the camera department of Warner Bros., and she later joined the International Cinematographer's Guild.[3] She said in an interview with MovieMaker, “I came up in a very old school way - interning in the camera department, loading, assisting, and operating with people like John Lindley, Bob Richardson, Bill Pope. I didn’t even realize how much I learned from those guys until I finally got to shoot a film myself.”[4]
