Andrew's interest in storytelling began when he and his family went on a year-long road trip to 48 states, where he met many eclectic types of people, as well as occasionally sleepwalking in trailer parks. An Atlanta native, Andrew desires to make comedic films with heartfelt emotions. In his free time, Andrew enjoys improv, sketch comedy, and hiking. Andrew is currently a student at FSU's College of Motion Picture Arts.
I have a background in improv comedy, so I wanted to create a film which portrayed the specific culture of college improv while showcasing what happens to someone when they have to perform a scene after receiving very terrible news. There is a comedic irony in someone trying to be funny on-stage after learning that their boyfriend cheated on them, and then discovering they have to do a scene with the other woman as well. College improv has a lot of people dating each other, and sometimes people do scenes with their exes or people they don’t like, so I wanted to play with the comedy of people being forced to do a scene together at the worst possible moment.
