ABOUT
Andrew’s early years as a professional photographer and sound engineer gave him the foundation to launch into the world of TV. He mastered the role of assistant editor and quickly rose to film editor and was an early pioneer of non linear editing systems. He then moved on to long form documentaries, working on prestigous strands such as Channel Four’s Equinox science series and BBC’s Omnibus, Horizon and Imagine strands. He was nominated for multiple BAFTAs and a Greirson Award for his editing work. After a period making arts and music documentaries, he directed history documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4 and then moved into feature documentaries as a self shooting director. Here he transferred his passion for photography to the moving image using digital film cameras. He won a Special Jury Award for the feature documentary ‘Diameter of the Bomb’ which saw its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. In 2021 Andrew gained a certificate in education and training and has recently become a Creative Skillset training provider.
