Andrew Fogel is a filmmaker and digital content creator from Los Angeles, CA. While his experience spans a broad range of filmmaking roles, he specializes in directing, producing, and editing for short-form digital content. He developed his expertise in digital video production as a producer and editor for the TYT Network, and his work directing the award-winning web series The Adventures of the League of STEAM developed his skill for visual narrative.
Andrew’s work is darkly playful, exploring unexpected mixes of popular genres and visual styles. He aspires to continue his filmmaking career through commercials, music videos, short films, and features.
In the previous video that I directed for Jason for his song "Get Thee Behind Me" we had him as this post-apocalyptic wandering survivor, and for "Expiration Day" we wanted to revisit that character and expand on it a bit. Especially after this past year of being on our own and living through real-life apocalyptic events, it felt like a natural choice to bring that character back and to send him on a journey.
The song's lyrics evoke some supernatural themes, so the creature came about in response to that. Throughout the pandemic I think we've all had an uneasy feeling of having this unseen threat following us around, and I tried to visualize that feeling in the way the creature is lurking throughout the video.
