Andrew J. Rodriguez is an Afro-Caribbean filmmaker from the Boogie Down Bronx, dedicated to centering the voices of the working-class through character-driven stories. With empathy and curiosity, Andrew crafts narratives that go beyond survival—stories that capture the strength, resilience, and full humanity of people too often defined by their struggles rather than their dreams. He often reimagines the world through the lens of speculative fiction, using it to highlight the complexities of our lives and the shared pursuit of deeper understanding within the community. Andrew's work has been showcased at Lincoln Center, the Tribeca Film Festival, and NewFest Film Festival.
