Andrew Gura (me) is a director.

I create carefully–crafted, emotionally resonant, human stories—in films, imagery and words. I suspend keen observations on the human condition within heightened aesthetics, always with a poetic heart. And a dash of the unexpected. Whether collaborating with global icons, legendary brands, or everyday people, I am passionate about crafting narratives that linger after the screen goes black.

I first made films and photos in the Los Angeles creative scene, collaborating closely with nascent legends: DJ Shadow, J Dilla, MF Doom. These highly improbable foundational experiences led to commercial representation and commissions from Toyota, Apple Music and Nike.

My films have screened at Robert Deniro’s Tribeca Film Festival, won a silver plaque at the Chicago International Film Festival, been shortlisted for Best Documentary at London’s Motor Film Awards, and installed at galleries including A+D Museum and Human Resources Gallery, Los Angeles. I won an RIAA Gold Record for my work with the Madvillainy project, a UPFI Disque de Platine in France, and rumor has it that a prop from one of my music videos with Saul Williams is in the Smithsonian. Note: it’s true.
