Andrew Coughlin, Videographer

The talented Andrew – “I was adopted from South Korea as a baby, grew up in Kansas City, but now live in Los Angeles. Ever since my early teens, film production has been an interest and passion of mine. I was fascinated with the entire process, especially the production phase. But, I wouldn’t really know this until a high school internship on Oscar winner Ang Lee’s film Ride With The Devil. It was at that point that I knew filmmaking was something I wanted to do, and each film I’ve made has been a learning experience, and I’m looking forward to making more.”
