Andrea Camacho McCracken

With almost a decade of film and media production experience, Andrea has written, produced, and directed narrative films, commercials, and branded content for local and international clients such as Canon USA, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble. She serves as Founder and Creative Director of an Arizona-based media company, Rollcrew Media. Andrea received a BA in Film and Media Production with a Certificate in Marketing from Arizona State University. She’s taught film production classes and mentored undergraduate students through phases of pre-production, production, and post-production, as Faculty Associate at Arizona State University’s Sidney Poitier New American Film School. She is currently finishing her MFA in Directing at the American Film Institute and planning to graduate in August 2022. She has received various awards and recognitions, such as AFI Awards Audi Scholar, and recipient of the Mexican-American Cultural Education Foundation Scholarship, the Irwin & Sheila Allen Endows Scholarship and the Dr. David M Milch Scholarship. Andrea is a proud first-generation Mexican American who tells stories that aim to question the status quo — by transforming the expected, and surprising audiences by dropping a bit of culture in the mix. She is passionate about changing stereotypes and introducing a new wave of colorful cinema that genuinely reflects her community’s vibrant stories and culture. She hopes to bring to life thought-provoking stories which are proudly inclusive and authentic, as much behind and in front of the camera.
