ANDREW KIRSCHENBAUM

Andrew Kirschenbaum is a documentary, narrative and commercial director/DP and the founder of The Bleu Mind.

I collect 100s of references from films and documentaries that I call upon for projects, happiest waist deep in a river with a camera on my shoulder and will pull together a local network in any corner of the world. I've DP'd projects on ARRI Alexa Mini in the Congo with a crew of 15+ people, spent a month at the Colombian-Venezuelan border documenting Venezuelan migrants journey, worked on Yves Saint-Laurent fragrance campaigns with Austin Butler and am currently in production on projects in Sierra Leone and Italy about mining and classical music.

I hold a B.A. from Roger Williams University in International Relations & Anthropology. I studied conflict resolution and film history at Charles University (Czech Republic) and Université Moulay Ismail (Morocco). I speak 4 languages fluently including English, Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese.

As director of documentary short Nos Vemos Pronto, I spoke at Yale, Cornell, and Fordham University and featured in 11+ festivals, domestic and international. Nos Vemos Pronto won best Social/Political Film Award at the 2023 Latino & Native American Film Festival and Best International Film at the Bridgeport Film Festival.

As founder of The Bleu Mind, a global production company focused on international films and character-driven stories, I am currently leading a a team of skilled producers, cinematographers, and editors across several time zones.
