Andrés is a writer and director from Los Angeles whose work explores themes of childhood, intergenerational memory, spiritual mysticism, and the transformation of diasporic and detribalized narratives into intimate traditions and haunting mythologies.  As the seventh son of migrants and a descendant of the Bracero Program and Mexican Repatriation, his storytelling searches for the beauty that can be found in darkness and embraces its ability to help us look deep within ourselves.

He has directed and produced for major brands such as Lululemon, Estrella Jalisco, Tastemade, and Warner Media. His work has been featured with Remezcla, NPR Music, NALIP, and the Los Angeles Times.

Andrés was an ARRAY Liberated Territory Fellow, a Film Independent Project Involve Directing Fellow, and was awarded the Frieze LA Film Fellowship, presented by Deutsche Bank, Frieze, and Ghetto Film School in partnership with Endeavor Content. His script, Despierta, won the Sundance Co//ab “Sound as Storytelling Challenge” presented by the Dolby Institute. Andrés’ documentary FREQUENCIES received the Kintsugi Spirit Artist Grant from the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center. His film, The Burning Plain, won Best Experimental Film at the Official Latino Film Festival (2022). He was recently selected for Playlab Films Apichatpong Weerasethakul Creator's Lab in Mexico (2023), and the POCOAPOCO Oaxaca Artist Residency (2023).

He is currently in post production for his hybrid documentary No Hables (Don’t Speak), and is developing his first feature film.
