Andrea Bertozzi

Andrea Bertozzi (Andy) was born in Terni, Italy, the child of an Italian steel factory worker and an English artist mother. In love with music from a very early age, his artistic inclination provided the drive for him to also explore stage performance and eventually screen acting, where he fell in love with the whole Filmmaking concept. Having saved money for a long while, he was eventually able to purchase the equipment he needed to pursue Filmmaking to a better level and he engaged acting friends as well as crews to film his first few short films, starting in 2017 with the self-written, self-produced and self-executed 'The Meaning Of White', a murder story based on the so-called "Honour Killings", (something he not only read about when living in Great Britain but also back in Italy, in the old fashion Sicilian rural culture). The relatively decent resulting footage pushed him to try harder for better results and the next year he discussed the possibility of a short, high-impact idea being expanded to a new ten minutes film with a more dynamic, if improbable, story, which produced the captivating "Crack Shot", based around the low-life of drug-using young adults and their dangerous events and connections. Andrea kept working at new stories and eventually filmed "My Girl", written by his friend Samuel Rossiter, completed in 2019, which saw his directing and lighting skills move ever further, with pleasing visuals and good actors' performances. Also in 2019, he filmed as Director of Photography the comedy short "Things You Shouldn't do Whilst High On Cocaine", written and directed by his filmmaker friend Christopher Deakin.
