Andy Zou
Born in St.Louis, MO., Andy came to New York in 2008 to study at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
The training only augmented a bizarre sensibility when it came to creating work, and after graduating with a BFA in Experimental Drama and a minor in Math and Computer Science, Andy found a passion for content creation with a focus on filmmaking and photography. He splits his freelance time pursuing multiple projects ranging from developing brand content to personal pursuits, all with his offbeat and dynamic style.
He enjoys hoppy beers and his burgers cooked rare.
