After college, Andrew Brame dreamed of attending the Graduate Film program at New York University. Seeing no way to afford the cost of attendance, he enlisted in the United States Navy, hoping to fund his education by earning the G.I. Bill. He served six years in the Navy as a photojournalist, winning awards for his coverage of humanitarian aid missions. In his final year in the Navy, Andrew was accepted to the Graduate Film program.

Andrew spent the last two months of 2023 volunteering in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts in Ukraine. He did photo and video work there for several organizations supporting frontline defenders.

Andrew is currently working on his thesis film in the Grad Film program at NYU. Spike Lee selected his script for the Spike Lee Film Production Fund. Spike Lee is the film’s executive producer.
