Andrew Coughlin
Filmmaker & Cinematographer
WORK (SELECTED)
Andrew Coughlin is a writer, director, and cinematographer whose work explores human connection, identity, resilience, and the complexities of relationships.
Andrew earned his BA in Broadcast Studies from Gonzaga University. He began making narrative short films in 2012 and has since completed sixteen shorts across both collaborative and solo productions.
After stepping away from filmmaking for nearly a decade to focus on fatherhood and other life responsibilities, Andrew returned behind the camera in 2025 with a renewed commitment to storytelling. Since then, he has written, directed, and shot multiple narrative short films, rebuilding his body of work and continuing to develop a distinct cinematic voice.
After a decade in Los Angeles, Andrew is returning to the Midwest, where he continues to write, direct, and shoot narrative films.
Working across both directing and cinematography, Andrew brings a visual approach rooted in character-driven narratives – combining thoughtful composition, natural performances, and emotionally grounded storytelling. His films explore the moments of connection, conflict, and change that define the human experience.
His work has screened at and been recognized by independent film festivals, and he continues to create stories centered on relationships, personal growth, and the complexities of modern life.
