Andrew.
Andrew creates content for impact. His creative direction has secured ADDYs and helped raise tens of millions for impact organizations. “Mitchell 20,” a documentary about education that he wrote/produced/co-directed, was distributed theatrically through AMC Independent and won a Rocky Mountain Emmy for Best Documentary. “The Joe Show,” a nearly ten-year-long profile of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the decline of the fourth estate that he story produced was sold to Investigative Discovery and played festivals worldwide. His original docudrama concept “Edge of War” was sold to Discovery Military. The show’s host, General Wesley Clark, said it “could reduce enthusiasm for war”, which was exactly its intent.
Andrew learned the craft of filmmaking while on the job—working up the ranks on commercial, marketing, broadcast, and documentary projects. From intern to PA, coordinator to production manager to line producer, then writer and director to creative director—and many other roles in between. Early in his career, he worked alongside the executive producer and creator of The Amazing Race and with teams from UK-based factual production companies like the BBC, RAWtv, and Darlow Smithson during a renaissance of recreation productions that shaped the rise of the docudrama. These experiences inform his rich understanding of storytelling, creative collaboration, and strategies to maximize production value.
Today, he primarily works as a line producer on national commercial projects or producer/director of national and international marketing content for impact organizations.
He heralds from Phoenix, AZ, where he developed as an artist and activist through the tutelage of great mentors and teachers. He's lived and worked in San Francisco, New York City, Ecuador, France, Liberia, and South Africa.
He is the treasurer and incoming president of the Arizona Production Association and has previously served on the boards of Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation, Conscious Good, Generation United by Valley of the Sun United Way, and Phoenix Elementary School District's Employee Benefits Trust.
