ANDRE CAMPBELL ~ Director, Producer, Writer & Editor

Andre Campbell grew up in New York City's Bronx borough, where he always had an interest in moving pictures. As a producer on his first film, 7:35, Campbell caught the bug and after that decided to produce and direct. He started off with Two Blues. Next was Trust, where he won his first directing award. Following that was Whaaat?, Future Killer, Danger Man & Frozen Voltage. Then came the multi award winners: OopsMovie.info, TwinkiesAndRootBeer.com, Benson's Hope and this title. Andre's work today consists of films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos. He has over a dozen awards for his producing and directing. When not shooting, he has taken time to author several books on film making, which can be found on Amazon. Further, he teaches film at Los Angeles City College. When relaxing you can find this artist flying his quadcopters and keeping them away from tall trees that seem to have a magnetic effect.

Mr. Campbell still stands behind his old school motto, "Learn by doing.”
