With over 25 years of experience in film, television, and commercial production, Andy has cultivated an enduring passion for storytelling in all its forms. His enthusiasm for the craft began in his youth when he and his friends started making their own movies in grade school. After studying film at the University of Colorado Boulder, Andy wrote, directed, and produced several short films while also producing indie features like Netherbeast Incorporated and Ambush at Dark Canyon.
Andy has been on the production team for award-winning documentaries such as The Imposter and The Joe Show, as well as TV shows like Investigation Discovery’s Deadly Dentists and Nat Geo’s Inside the Hunt for the Boston Bombers. Over a decade ago, he started podcasting with Pete and immediately embraced the medium. Now, as a partner at TruStory FM, Andy looks forward to more storytelling through their wide variety of shows.
Throughout his career, Andy has passed on his knowledge by teaching young minds the crafts of screenwriting, producing, editing, and podcasting.
Outside of work, Andy is a family man who enjoys a good martini, a cold beer, a nice cup o’ joe. And always, of course, a great movie.

We continue our exploration of the films nominated at the 1976 Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation. Today, we laugh along with one of our favorites – Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Still works as well as ever, and we even try saying a few smart things about it along the way.
For our November member bonus episode, we add a ‘what if?’ to our run of 1976 Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation Nominees series, talking about Bryan Forbes’ 1975 film The Stepford Wives. How does it compare to the nominees?
We continue our 1976 Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation Nominees series with John Carpenter’s first film – and mostly a student film – it’s Dark Star. Is it better than a student film? Too much about hippies in space? Or does it work in some strange way?
We kick off our next series exploring the nominees for the Hugo Awards Best Dramatic Presentation award, starting with a bonkers post-apocalyptic film, L.Q. Jones’ A Boy and His Dog. Don Johnson and a telepathic dog? Jason Robards as leader of an underground society? We’re in!
We wrap up our conversations about the 1965 BAFTAs Best Film From Any Source Nominees with a discussion about John Frankenheimer’s brilliant film The Train. It’s got Burt Lancaster as a French train man helping keep the Nazis from stealing art from their museums near the end of WWII, and holds up exceptionally well. Tune in!
We continue our series looking at the 1965 BAFTAs for the nominees of the Films From Any Source category, this time with a conversation about Jack Clayton’s The Pumpkin Eater. Easy to say we loved this powerful drama.
Cinematographer Lyn Moncrief joins us to talk about one of his favorite movies, Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1999 Magnolia. We also talk about how Lyn got his start, his work in the horror genre, and the latest work he did on the brand new Five Nights at Freddy’s.
We kick off our next series looking at the 1965 BAFTA Best Film From Any Source Nominees. First up, it’s a battle between church and state, between friends, between Normans and Saxons. Plus, Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton cavorting like pros. It’s Peter Glenville’s 1964 film Becket! Tune in!
We wrap up our member bonus episode series looking at the three films nominated for the National Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Cinematography in 1969 with a chat about Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch. It’s a brilliant film and one we’re thrilled to talk about.
We wrap up our series on the nominees at the 1952 Academy Awards for Best Black-and-White Cinematography with a conversation about Elia Kazan’s adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire.” It’s a strong finish for this series and gives us a lot to talk about. Tune in!
