Andrew Kanias
Assistant Producer
"I love writing scripts and have always had a passion for filmmaking although I'm not currently doing this professionally at the moment. I have made a few amateur films in the past and written three feature length screenplays -all are romantic comedies with a little drama. I have also written short stories and short scripts, one of which came in the top fifty of the 'It's My Shout' initiative this year.
I hope to spend much more time writing in the future but at this time, am extremely busy working as an Independent Herbalife Distributor and Karate Instructor, both of which I love.
I'm excited to be part of the production team on Jaye Swift's new film, Letters Home and wish Jaye all the very best!
