Andrew H. Brown

Andrew is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker and storyteller who has spent the past decade living and working across sub-Saharan Africa, first as a humanitarian, then behind the camera. His work centers on intimate, long form documentary projects that amplify often unheard voices and tackle the deep complexities of land, identity, and power. Andrew was the director, cinematographer, producer, and editor of BETWEEN THE RAINS (Tribeca 2023 Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature and Best Cinematography; IDA Award nominee for Best Cinematography; Cinema Eye Honors nominee for Best Production). He was also editor of National Geographic’s Emmy-winning PATH OF THE PANTHER (executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio), a bold meditation on conservation in the Florida Everglades. Previously, Andrew produced, shot, and edited KIFARU (Audience Award, Full Frame 2019), a deeply personal look at the final years of the world’s last male northern white rhino and the small team of Kenyan caretakers that lived with him. As editor, he received a Jackson Wild nomination for Best Editing. His earlier work includes WHEN LAMBS BECOME LIONS (Tribeca 2018 winner for Best Editing), a vérité portrait of the ivory trade in northern Kenya, developed over three years of on-the-ground trust-building within poaching networks. Most recently, Andrew was a shooter for THE LAST RHINOS: A NEW HOPE (National Geographic/Disney+).
