His short films have screened at several festivals internationally including SXSW, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Atlanta Film Festival and have garnered many "best of" awards. In 2019, André was awarded the prestigious North Carolina Artist Fellowship. Andre's creative work explores the commonalities and crossovers between the natural environment, virtual landscapes, and states of consciousness.
