Andria Litto

Born in Los Angeles, Andria Litto, has lived in New York, New Orleans and Italy. Andria Litto is a writer-producer-director who has worked in the industry in various capacities since 1987, starting at the young age of 15 as an assistant in the Costume department, taking a job on a film almost every summer until she graduated college. She graduated from Marymount High School in Los Angeles, and went on to Tulane University. She holds a BA in Theatre Arts with a minor in Literature. She also attended NYU's CAP 21 Musical Theatre Conservatory after college. Andria has worked in almost every aspect of the film industry since her first job as a teenager. In addition, she speaks four languages, English, Italian, French and Spanish. In 1996-1998, while her father, George Litto, acquired a $100 million revolving line of credit up to $250 million for the production and financing of five films. Andria was involved throughout the entire process. Her fluency in French, Italian and Spanish helped bridge the culture and language barriers with the investors, many of whom were European. When George Litto Pictures, Inc., commenced in January 1998, Andria supervised the start-up. Eventually, she oversaw all acquisition and development. While at GLP, Andria associate produced the film, The Crew, starring Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds, co-produced by Barry Sonnenfeld, released by Buena Vista in 2000. During the same period, Andria also began writing screenplays, editing and revising screenplays and occasionally doing translations from Italian, French or Spanish into English for various screenwriters and producers. In 2006, Andria became the President of the George Litto Productions, Inc. Andria, along with George, were invited to become a board members of the IETFF, a film festival in Monte Carlo. Andria facilitated a deal for NRDC, the largest environmental lobbying organization in the USA, to consult with the Principality of Monaco to green all events in Monaco, including the film festival and eventually the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. As a result, the IETFF received immediate attention in the European press as the first green film festival, and NRDC continues to consult with the Principality of Monaco on their environmental sustainability. During the festival, she met Oliver Rothschild and discovered his passion for environmental sustainability. As a result, Andria also arranged for Oliver Rothschild to retain the NRDC as a consultant for his Green Coffee Company. Beginning in 2007, George Litto Productions, Inc. became embroiled in a legal battle with CBS and his late partner, Rose Freeman and her heirs over the new Five-0 television series. In 2015, the matter was amicably resolved pursuant to a settlement agreement on file in redacted form in the Los Angeles Superior Court file for the case. In 2008, Andria created software for the film industry with a group of European Investors. The software was entertainment specific, cloud based software designed for production and development. It was endorsed by WB Physical Production head, Steve Papazian, for use by its producers on the lot, many of whom used the early beta version. Concurrently, Andria directed her first short film entitled, A Scrooge Meets Cinderella Story..., a comedy about the chaotic life of a Hollywood Producer, which was also a promo for the software. The software, called Producer's Utopia, and the short film premiered and were featured at the American Film Market (AFM) in 2008. The economic crash of 2008, however, prohibited the European investors from proceeding. The software concept and short reverted back to Andria in 2009. Andria has also written three original screenplays, Shikse in the Promised Land, Blow Up Bob and How Little We Know and an adaptation, Unplanned Parenthood, based on the autobiographic novel by Liz Carpenter. She also owns the feature film rights to the novel entitled, Antisocial. She acquired the rights while the novel was in the galleys for her company Amuse Entertainment, Inc. The novel was published in Dec. 2015 by Harper Collins. An avid singer with a 3 1/2 octave soprano voice and a legitimate Broadway belt, Andria has performed in stage plays, musicals, concerts and cabarets in LA and NYC. She continues to sing, act, do voice overs, Audio Book Narration and dance classical ballet as part of her artistic endeavors and creative expression.
