Andrew is a writer & director who grew up in the Black Country, roaming car boot sales searching for forgotten video nasties on VHS and staying up late to absorb cinema’s weirdest offerings.

Since then he’s gone on to create bold visuals for music videos and short films, earning himself a coveted UKMVA nomination in 2017 for 
Ultrasound's Kon-Tiki. His short film Peter the Penguin screened as part of the 2021 Slamdance Film Festival and Beyond Fest. Before that it won Best Short Film at the 2020 edition of GrimmFest, premiered at the 2020 Fantasia Film Festival and has screened at the majority of the biggest genre film festivals in the UK and beyond.

​​

Andrew was then personally selected to write and direct an episode of Bite Size Halloween for 20th Digital & Disney which premiered on Hulu on October 1st 2022. It has since screened at the BFI London Film Festival, Beyond Fest, and won Audience Awards for Best Short Film at Toronto After Dark and GrimmFest.

​

In 2023 Andrew was one of fifteen filmmakers selected for the prestigious BFI Network @ LFF Programme where they select some of the most exciting emerging filmmakers in the UK to develop their skills as they embark on their debut features.​

​

In 2024 Andrew was awarded the BFI Early Development Fund for one of his feature films. In 2026 Andrew successfully crowdfunded his latest short film Personal Growth starring comedy legend Matt Lucas, which is now in post-production.
