FT Kosempa

FT Kosempa was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania. From the age of eight, the young FT was obsessed with watching the films of foreign directors such as Jean Renoir, Akira Kurosawa, and Ingmar Bergman.

As a consequence, he grew up without any friends.

FT studied film at Columbia University with Stefan Sharff and acting in New York City with Gordon Phillips. An award-winning director, he has also worked as a film editor, cinematographer, screenwriter, and is the writer-director of the feature film "Untitled VIII" (1982). As a fine art photographer, his work is represented by the Duncan Miller Gallery in Los Angeles.

FT currently resides near Woodstock, New York.
