Straight outta the Boogie Down Bronx, Andrew is a storyteller reppin’ the voices of working-class communities with heart and a sharp vision. His character-driven narratives go beyond survival—they breathe, dream, and push back. With nuance and curiosity, he captures the strength, resilience, and humanity of people too often defined by their struggles instead of their dreams.
Rooted deep in his community, Andrew weaves speculative fiction into everyday lives—like the coquito lady trekking through the summer heat, the African street braiders swapping lifetimes on folding chairs, and the kids water-bending under open hydrants.
His work has been showcased at Lincoln Center, Tribeca Film Festival, NewFest, and the U.S. Conference on HIV/AIDS. In 2019, his pilot PLUS earned the Tribeca Sloan Discovery Award, and he was named the 2020 Valentine and Clarke Filmmaker Fellow at the Jacob Burns Creative Culture Fellowship. He worked as a staff writer for the first season of Love in Gravity podcast series, later adapted into a stage play and featured in Teen Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
Through layered, genre-bending stories, Andrew reimagines the worlds of underserved communities—not as tales of suffering, but as reflections on imagination, survival, and what it truly means to live.
