Andrew Kennedy

In 2010, Andrew graduated from the University of North Carolina and finished a mini-doc for Maya Angelou's Healthy Equity Center in Winston Salem. He also wrapped up principle photography on a low budget feature "In the Hands of an Angry God" working as a gaffer. After spending 2 years working as a camera assistant in LA, Andrew took a full time DP position at a boutique production company in Raleigh, NC. For several years he traveled overseas filming branded content for tech companies such as IBM, Lenovo, and Hitachi. In 2018, Andrew stepped down as a shooter/editor to pursue his passion in film and cinematography. Since, Andrew has served as a DP and gaffer on various projects including independent features, corporate communications and documentary productions. He currently freelances as a DP with an available 2-Ton Grip, lighting and camera package. A follower of Brené Brown's research on vulnerability, Andrew believes in the power that story has to create interpersonal and systematic change within our culture; leading to healthier families, communities, workplaces and yes, even a better world. Story creates space for empathy, empathy in-turn drives connection, which leads to understanding - one the greatest change agents we can harness.
