Special Guest
This year we are pleased to announce our second festival speaker:
from New York City.
Andrew Hunt is an extraordinary writer, producer, director, actor, musician and humanitarian. His unique career has spanned multiple continents and earned him numerous awards in music, TV and film.
Andrew’s most recent film is The Love Game (above, on the set). He was one of five filmmakers selected from across America to compete in a Nationwide film competition. The “Bflix” series was sponsored by Bloomingdale’s as a part of their Fall 2009 Film-themed campaign. He was up against a talented selection of filmmakers that included Robert Redford’s daughter, Amy. The films were showcased online and in all the Bloomingdale’s stores throughout the US where people could shop, watch and vote. At the end of six weeks of viewing and voting Andrew’s short was awarded the winning film sending him to the 2010 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles.
He is currently directing a feature documentary titled “Thank You Very Large” (working title) about three 1950's American comedians as re-discovered through the eyes of three contemporary comedians. The film is due for release in 2012.
Andrew lives in New York City with his wife Joy and their son Elias.
Andrew will also be speaking in chapel on Wednesday, March 28.
