Growing up amidst the bustling streets of New York, Andrew's father served as a doorman in a downtown building, while his mother filled the vital role of a Spanish interpreter for nurses.

At the age of 19, Andrew embarked on a profound journey, joining the U.S. Army. For an illustrious span of 7 years, he served his nation traversing landscapes of challenge and courage as a soldier and leader, especially during his two deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Post his remarkable service, Andrew dipped his toes into the halls of Hostos Community College in the Bronx, NY. There, he delved into the realm of Business Management, honing skills that would later serve as a foundation for his multifaceted endeavors.

Not content with navigating the conventional paths of life, Andrew's creative spirit sought new avenues for expression.

Director Statement

Bounty Hunters began as a one-page rough script Juston and I were going to utilize as an advertisement to promote a subscription-based streaming app he and I founded and ran in 2021.

After finding out how much we were spending to rent the costumes, we decided, “Screw it! I guess we’re making a Western,” and we buckled down to write more pages. A one-page loose guideline of a script quickly turned into a near twenty-five and we found ourselves in pre-production.

Unfortunately, we decided not to continue the app in 2022, (instead, we wrote and produced a full-length comedic stage play) but Juston and I both learned so much from that year of creation, collaboration, and multi-hat-wearing when it came to getting shit done.

This version of Bounty Hunters was subsequently never released. We only had the trailer for the film on our app when we had it. I figured it would be worth the shot to submit this gem to Film Festivals. As the current strike currently leaves writers and actors without answers or a fair deal, we are all struggling right now. Bounty Hunters turned into a passion project that many people came together to make. We had over twenty-five crew and cast collectively working their butts off to bring this film to fruition. I believe laughter is medicine. We could all use some comedic relief, and what better way to celebrate than with a good ol' fashioned comedy of errors, Western style?
