Since he started screenwriting in 2018, L. Andrew Cooper has composed more than 30 scripts, a mix of features and shorts spanning thriller to comedy, drama to horror. Most of them have brought home laurels, many from multiple festivals and competitions. Before the current obsession, Cooper used his English degrees from Harvard (B.A.) and Princeton (Ph.D.) to teach across the U.S., including courses in Film Studies from the introductory through the graduate level. He has published two academic volumes, including one on horror maestro Dario Argento. He has also published two novels, two collections of short stories, a collection of poetry, and several edited volumes--no bestsellers, but respectable work. Living in North Hollywood with his husband James and cat Samara, he spends most of his time tapping at his keyboard, waiting to see what will spin out next.
