Andrew Stanbridge has been traveling and photographing throughout Southeast Asia for the past 15 years. His first work documented the continuing modernization of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, which continues to be a theme that he returns to frequently. While traveling through these countries (particularly Cambodia and Laos) his interest was piqued by the histories of conflict that his own home country of America had been involved in and the recovery from the aftermath of these conflicts. For the past 5 years he has concentrated on this theme by addressing the physical, emotional and cultural scars left from the various wars fought in these countries. During this time he has spent time clearing and photographing unexploded ordnance, gone on patrol with ragtag armies and spent countless hours hearing the stories of those whose lives have been affected by the vestiges of war.

Most of my films have revolved around travel pieces, both long and short form. I also have experience as a journalist, my main beat being the U.S. military. My work has taken me across the world. I am adept at working in difficult environments as well as foreseeing problems so to avoid them. I also have become skilled at finding solutions to problems that turn out to be unavoidable (that's usually where the story is). When you work in "out there" places like Tibet, Xinjiang, eastern China, Iraq, Iran, India, Mongolia, Thailand, Alaska, etc. you cannot successfully complete your work without these skills. I love telling, or better said, showing stories that help people connect with another part of the world or another way of life. Capturing people out of their comfort zone is where self-learning happens and makes for great film. I speak English, Spanish and Chinese.
