Edward Andrews

From an early age, Edward was fascinated by the way images can direct the viewer’s eye and tell a story, so it’s no surprise he should end up working in film. 

His eye for composition is present throughout his work, which combines honest storytelling with hints of surrealism and moments of seamless VFX, capturing reality but in an elegantly heightened way. His unique approach has been recognized internationally with a growing list of awards (including the prestigious Shots New Director of the Year), and is one of the reasons we’re so excited to have him in the Outsider family. 

But Edward didn’t start his career by directing award-winning short films and commercials. After being inspired by the surrealistic photomontages of thought-provoking photographer Jerry Ueslmann, Edward joined the world of visual effects. As a compositor at DNeg he was part of the Oscar-winning VFX teams behind such films as Blade Runner 2049, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and the Harry Potter franchise. Later transitioning this knowledge into directing visually rich stories with a very human core… and we’re so glad he did.
