George Lang is a veteran American director/cinematographer with over thirty years experience in the entertainment industry. He has worked for a number of major media outlets as well as video mediums, with experience in broadcast television, corporate video, and advertising. He is also the founder and president of The Big Picture Film and Video Arts, a production company which he launched in 1997. He continues to serve as director of photography for broadcast and commercial shoots, and as director and producer of corporate videos and events.

Lang's past achievements in cinematography include three Emmy awards and the much-touted George Foster Peabody Award. The first Emmy came in 1980 for his ABC News coverage of the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid; his second came in 1989 for his camera work on the PBS documentary, “Paradise Lost on Bikini Atoll". A third major project, ABC News coverage of the civil war in Rwanda, earned him both a third Emmy as well as the 1994 Peabody Award.

George has trained with the F900 Sony Cine Alta High Definition Camera to help pioneer the HD 24p format over the last five years, and is known for his expertise in this new technology. He still serves as instructor for the Santa Fe High Definition Workshops, held annually.
