About Andrew

Andrew Gutierrez is an Assistant Professor in the Theatre Department teaching film history, film production and creative media classes. Andrew has 31 years of video and film production experience but he began in theatre at El Teatro Campesino (The Farmworkers Theater) under the direction of Luis Valdez (director of La Bamba and Zoot Suit). Luis introduced Andrew to executive producer Moctesuma Esparza who brought Andrew onto the film Selena with Jennifer Lopez. Andrew worked his way up the ranks from Production Assistant to Production Coordinator, Production Manager to Editor, Segment Producer to Director. Having worked his way through every step of the production ladder provides Andrew with a unique perspective that he is able to bring to his students at Concordia University.

“For me, telling stories is much more than just entertainment. We are storytelling people that teach, learn, caution, and grow through story. I am very fortunate to be able to touch people’s lives by sharing stories of inspiration.”

Andrew has always pursued his desire to share stories of an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances through film, TV and stage.

Unique traits: I'm creating screenplay/stories with Latinos in hero/lead roles.
