Andrew Coughlin
Filmmaker & Cinematographer
Andrew Coughlin is a self-taught filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Originally from the Midwest, he began making short films in 2012 and has since completed thirteen projects, ranging from dialogue-driven narratives with small crews to deeply personal solo works created entirely on his own.
His most recent films, "The Days I Hold," "Grief is a Room," and "The Small Hours" mark a creative turning point—crafted with no budget, no crew, and minimal gear, they reflect a stripped-down, intimate style of storytelling that has begun to resonate with festival audiences.
Andrew writes, directs, shoots, and edits his films independently, occasionally stepping in front of the camera out of necessity. His work is grounded in character and conversation, often exploring the quiet drama of everyday relationships. He draws particular inspiration from Edward Burns, whose films helped shape his understanding of story, tone, and the value of making films with whatever you have.
