Background
Originally from Milwaukee, WI, Erik Deutscher is currently pursuing the dream and constantly submersing himself in the arts of movies, photography, music and media in Hollywood, CA. While taking advantage of each field, he has been dedicating himself as a filmmaker, photographer, digital artist, videographer, musician, graphic artist, producer and editor.
As a photographer, Deutscher trains his eye through experimentation and tests his methods in manipulation while doing freelance work for publicity, commercial, headshot and alike clients.
In the world of music, Deutscher has been the drummer for the hard rock band No Turning Back since 1996. In addition to playing shows, song writing and recording in the studio, he has also done the graphic print work, promotions and management duties for the band.
Though now a freelance photographer and videographer, Deutscher previously worked as the videographer for the Internet television website Not Mainstream Typical Videos which focuses on independent and underground music and cultural events that are happening in the world today. Deutscher assisted in creating and shaping NotMTV into what it is now with founder Tom Rowles. In addition to videographer, Deutscher also did the graphic work (ad banners, video title cards, etc.) and some producing and website maintenance duties.
Plus, Deutscher’s first documentary, The Beginning of the End, can be found on NotMTV as well as the No Turning Back music video, Angry, of which he shot and edited.
Erik Deutscher is Animal Instinct Studios.
