Photographer, Filmmaker
New York/Montreal
Andi was born in Bucharest, raised in Montreal, and now lives in a small town in Upstate NY, all factors informing her worldview. In her artistic work, she explores reality through films and photographs capturing alternate forms of community. In her business life she runs creative companies and encourages people to do great things.
Andi's first feature film experience was as producer of the dark comedy 'Peepers' (2010), supported by Telefilm Canada, distributed by E1 Entertainment, and nominated for five Canadian Comedy awards and three ACTRA awards. She diverted from mainstream filmmaking after that and went on to make three documentaries, shooting and editing on; 'Suuns Europe 2011' , a tour diary which premiered at Montreal’s Festival du Nouveau Cinema, 'The Shigawake Movie', a portrait of a small town fair for CBC in 2016, and 'The Pop Movie' (2020), a direct cinema journey into Pop Montreal, one of the largest independent arts festivals in North America, supported by the Conseil Des Arts et Lettres du Quebec.
Andi has also worked as a photographer for over 15 years, with work featured in Rolling Stone, Dazed, NYT, Stereogum, Fashion, and more. She published one book of landscape photographs about Death Valley in 2017, and made two public video installations which showed at Art Basel in Miami and at Pop Montreal. She is currently photographing a variety of projects Upstate and working on a new film about the Hudson River.
