Andrea has what you want in a project or event coordinator, a videographer, and an award-winning filmmaker – a background of international travel, music, theatre and digital arts that have led her and her company The Visual Blueprint Productions (and Theme Room Films co-partner) to become a visual story-telling force to be reckoned with. Her quick sense of humour, clarity and fiercely compassionate nature will find you wanting to see your event come to life under her skilful guidance or your own story told through the lens of her camera.
Andrea has produced, directed, edited, coordinated and filmed for documentaries, live events, promotional videos, fiction, animation, and numerous research projects. Her independent films often result in screenings at local and global venues with official selections for International Film Festivals and featured at educational institutions, conferences and events. The Centre for Local Prosperity documentary Climate Change and the Human Prospect produced and directed by Andrea earned her a Women in Film and Television Atlantic Best Director nomination at the 2019 Screen Nova Scotia Awards.
Andrea also has a history of creating memorable conferences, events, festivals, focus group planning and workshop coordination. She has experience in the supervision and training of others, including, teachers’ aide for video editing, set etiquette and film production roles in schools, and the planning and coordination of scheduled educational programs and program development with Women in Film and Television Atlantic.
Andrea is a proud member of Canadian Cinema Editors (CCE), Atlantic Filmmakers Co-operative (AFCOOP), Women in Film & Television Atlantic (WIFT-AT), and the Documentary Organization of Canada (DOC).
