Andrés is a writer and director from Los Angeles whose work explores themes of 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, and Warner Media. He recently collaborated with Futuro to create original episodic content in partnership with Warner Media 150. His work has premiered with Remezcla, NPR Music, NALIP, Urbanworld Film Festival, and won Best Experimental Film for his short The Burning Plain at the Official Latino Film Festival. His script, Despierta, won the Sundance Co//ab “Sound as Storytelling Challenge” presented by the Dolby Institute.

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