Andrew was a child prodigy…
…Except not at all.
Andrew Carter is an award-winning director, writer, editor & barbecue enthusiast from Riverside, Connecticut who remade Jurassic Park with action figures in his backyard when he was 12. He graduated from Chapman University in 2011, and then worked behind the camera on movies like THE WAY WAY BACK and SUPER TROOPERS 2.
After those films, Andrew made what would become his directorial calling card: the independent pilot/short film REVENGE TOUR, which won awards at the 2018 LA Film Festival and SXSW 2019, and was selected for the 2019 Sundance New Voices Lab. His next short, MARVIN’S NEVER HAD COFFEE BEFORE, screened at SXSW 2021 and Palm Springs ShortFest 2021.
Andrew is an emotional dude who sees the world in a cinematic way. He tries to reflect that in his work. The short films featured on here are Andrew’s favorites, and they’re all connected to each other as well. And in Hollywood, any meaningful connection is good, right?
Andrew and his wife Zoë welcomed a magical baby boy named Felix just over a year ago, and the whole experience of balancing parenthood while continuing to pursue one’s passions inspired a feature film script that is currently in development with an eye towards production later this year. But regardless of the outcome, Andrew is just happy to have finally written a movie that is actually good, and he’s more focused than ever on being the best father, husband, and friend he can be - especially as the world inches closer to all-out chaos… sorry. There’s that emotion again!
