(taken from my website; www.andireiss.com)Andi Reiss is a London and Oxford (and part time in New York) based independent film and video producer, director, writer, editor, researcher, visual journalist, documentary campaigner, media artist, cartoonist and associate lecturer in 21st century media. He is a festival award winning documentary maker with the experience to oversee a project from conception (script-drafting and development, through to financing, production, completion and delivery),Andi has forged many long-term connections in advertising, graphic design, filmmaking, photography, art, installation, exhibition, publishing, theatre production and more. His work has always attempted to demonstrate the power and significance of storytelling with investigative journalism in uncovering stories of peoples who have been ignored by the mainstream media or left otherwise without voice, and often with a political aspect, it incorporates a range of artistic disciplines, uniting them within a social and cultural context.His film include Cargo (2004), Homecoming (2010), Postively False – Birth of a Heresy (2011), Positive Hell (2014), Sacrificial Virgins (2017) and Endgame – Assisted Dying and UK legislation (2018). His commercial work includes spots for Ford, Google, Pro-Drive, Visit London, Barnado’s, Save The Children and Fair Trade.Described as being able to strike the ethnographic balance between getting involved with his topics, whilst ensuring he keeps enough distance to guarantee his neutrality and independence, he is a consumate self-shooting producer/director and editor, often working with a very small team. However, he has the rare combination of storytelling, photography and people skills that, hopefully makes his work as interesting as it might be challenging, placing a fresh focus on everyday subjects. With resources for all types of creative people, he is keen to hear from those who may benefit from this experience,Outside of professional activities, his interests include trampolining, bubblewrap, Avril Lavigne’s underrated later work and knitwear.He is skilled in:-Documentary – short and long form. Script-writing. Producing; budgeting and scheduling. Ideas/concepts – writing treatments and pitches. Cinematography and camera operating. Editing (Avid, Premiere Pro and FCP) Interviewing – getting people to relax, open-up, be authentic and communicate.
