Andrew Todd

I was born in Christchurch in 1988, then proceeded to live in Dallas Texas until moving back in 1999. I got a BFA in Film from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts and did a year of postgrad to add Honours to the end of it. Since then I’ve been living in Christchurch, working in various creative capacities, including co-writing/directing the feature film GHOST SHARK 2: URBAN JAWS, designing sound and AV at the Court Theatre, doing professional improv with the Court Jesters, and managing the Christchurch regional V48HOURS competition in 2011. Since the earthquake ate up a large portion of work I’ve been making plans to move northward.
