Education: The State University of New York, Stony Brook [campus] [Biochemistry]; Graduate Film Program, New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
Career: En route to medical school, Bukowski set his gaze upon more artistic endeavors. He left the United States for extensive travel in Europe and Asia. This adventure led to a job as photographer's assistant in Paris. Soon after, he was enlisted to archive a Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage, led by the Dalai Lama, to all the sacred Buddhist sites along the Ganges River. This marked the first time he had a movie camera in his hand.
