Biography
editBriesewitz was born in Leverkusen, Germany. She cultivated a preference for French Nouvelle Vague and Italian cinema at an early age, watching them on German television.[3] In an interview, she recounted that Francois Truffaut's Day for Night, The Story of Adele H and The Man Who Loved Women, were some of the films that made strong impressions on her as a child.[4] Later, Briesewitz considered to be a painter, but decided it was too isolated as a career.[3]
She had an internship with a German television company, before she applied and completed a cinematography program at AFI Conservatory.[4]
In 2007 she won a Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards in the category Kodak Vision award.
