Hi, I’m Andy!
I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA and my love of making films began with shooting and editing surf and snowboard videos with my brother and friends when we were wee little tykes. The result of our early collaborations are the cult classics* Salsa Fueled Gringos and The Shafted. Below, you can see some of those precious moments.
*Its a very small cult
In college, my focus shifted to creating more serious work, such as my critically acclaimed** Glancing Blow Trilogy. Consisting of Good Times / Bad Times, Between The Cups, and the yet to be completed, but highly anticipated, Still Stuck, these films detail the rise and fall of a number of personalities that define the sport of Beer Pong, otherwise known as “The Game.”
**At least one critic called the series “Haunting. A battle for the American soul set in the nefarious world of The Game.” This critic may or may not be an alias for myself.
Between working on these masterpieces, I received my bachelor degree in film from UC Santa Barbara, and a masters degree in Broadcast and Electronic Communications from San Francisco State University.
Amazingly, I found that my early experiments shooting, directing and editing action sports, documentary and narrative work lent themselves to a career that I love. Along the way I became a filmmaker, well versed in every aspect of the process, from concept to final delivery, and comfortable working in a wide range of genres and styles.
I now work with clients ranging from major sports teams to startups. My goal is to infuse every project with joy, whatever the subject matter. I love telling a great story, and believe that innovative story structure, focused writing, and compelling imagery is the way to do it.
My love of filmmaking, and the power it has to entertain, educate, and have a positive influence has only grown over the years, and I’m dedicated to making every project original and unforgettable.
