Dave J. Andrae was born on the Autumnal Equinox of 1979 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He now lives in Florida. Andrae is a multidisciplinary artist and writer with an emphasis on film. He holds a BFA in Film and is an alumnus of the Berlin International Film Festival’s Berlinale Talents program. Some of his films include Robert on His Lunch Break, The Plants Are Listening, Self-Important Empirical Film #3, with Voice-over, and Fire in the Neighborhood. A jack of all trades, Andrae has played music in several bands and side projects, including Leila M. & Tired of Triangles and Astronaut Ice Cream Headache. His high school record label, Beeshu Records, was the first imprint other than Hospital Productions to issue a recording from noise artist Prurient, now quite established but then just starting out. Andrae is an avid film watcher, dog lover, stand-up comedy fan, and amateur cyclist. He doesn’t take himself too seriously.
