Biography
Briesewitz was born in Leverkusen, Germany. She cultivated a preference for French Nouvelle Vague and Italian cinema at an early age, watching them on German television. In an interview, she recounted that Francois Truffaut's Day for Night, The Story of Adele H and The Man Who Loved Women, were some of the films that made strong impressions on her as a child. Later, Briesewitz considered to be a painter, but decided it was too isolated as a career.
She had an internship with a German television company, before she applied and completed a cinematography program at AFI Conservatory.
In 2007 she won a Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards in the category Kodak Vision award.
