A WORTHY QUOTE
ANDREW C. BROWN – DIRECTOR / EDITOR
In recent years, my passion has led me to dive into the world of directing and editing documentaries. I’ve had the pleasure of bringing various projects to life for organizations like the West Toronto Art Collective, Art For Cancer, the West Toronto and Junction Historical Society, and the Stratford & District Historical Society.
I seek out projects that truly spark my interest, often taking on these ventures voluntarily. There’s something exhilarating about the informal, do-it-yourself ethos of “guerrilla filmmaking” that resonates with me.
My journey in film and video has been wonderfully eclectic. I’ve edited nationally broadcast TV shows and commercials, supervised post-production on feature films, directed corporate and television programs, and crafted documentaries as both director and editor. My work has earned me several accolades, including two Geminis, a Telly for directing a short-format children’s series, and recognition for best editing for the feature film “Cry of Silence.”
And recently had the very successful premiere screening for my feature documentary “Under This Roof.”
I’m continually captivated by fresh narratives and inventive ways to tell them, always eager to explore what stories await on the horizon.
