Gary Graver is an internationally known filmmaker. He has worked as a director and cameraman extensively in Europe, Africa, Asia, and India. After his first short film and a feature, both released theatrically, and a stint in the U.S. Navy as a member of the Combat Camera Group in Vietnam, Gary went to work in Hollywood on feature films as a director of photography.

He was a collaborator of Orson Welles starting in 1970, when they began filming Welles' project The Other Side of the Wind about the fading of the Hollywood studio system. Their relationship began with a cold call Gary placed to Orson Welles on a whim. Welles picked up the phone at his Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow and spoke to Gary directly. Welles told him that only one other cameraman had ever just called him, wanting to work with him; that was Gregg Toland, who went on to photograph Citizen Kane.
