I’m Andy Kelemen, a branded content + commercial director with a specialty in making unusual work. I describe my style as playful and approachable, and I love over-the-top visuals with bold looks. I got my start filming behind the scenes content for Troma Entertainment with Lloyd Kaufman, after which I spent five years at one of the largest political ad agencies in the country, producing and directing national campaigns. I then went full-time as a director, starting a production company in the process. My work has been aired nationally, created millions of social media impressions, and I’ve picked up seven Emmy awards along the way for my documentary work for PBS. In directing content, I’m proud of the work I create, and my ability push the envelope (and push clients) when needed. While it’s tough to brag about personality traits, I’m consistently described as being easy to work with, and a fantastic collaborator. And let’s be honest, when you work on a commercial project - you spend a ton of time together.

Indefatigable, gregarious, and a born raconteur, I found my love of story around the dinner table with my father, a man of whom it is said, “never let the facts stand in the way of a good story.” But I believe getting to the truth of the matter through a well told story is what changes people’s hearts, connects us, and helps us see and understand the world. I’ve been entrusted with people’s stories through filmmaking and photography around the world for over twenty-five years. I’ve worked in: Bosnia, Palestine, Israel, Honduras, Haiti, Dominican Republic, The United Arab Emirates, Niger, Egypt, India, Kenya, Ethiopia, Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Nigeria, Columbia, Congo, Eswatini, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tunisia, Malaysia, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkey, Slovakia, England, The Bahamas, Mexico, Paraguay, Benin, China, France, Bulgaria, Russia, The Philippines, and all over the United States. Along with my freelance work, I own Red Dirt Short Films, with my wife, Jody.

First exposed to photography in the early 1980’s, I have always enjoyed capturing images of places I have been and places I want to remember and tell others about. It seems that the camera was always with me no matter where I went. On trips around the state or around the country, photographs documented my travels and memories. The pinnacle of my personal photography was between 2001 and 2005 where I had the unique opportunity to work and live in Antarctica. The amazing scenery and experiences there could only be told to others through photography. With the availability of email and internet I was able to share my adventure through digital images. In 2012 I was awarded a First Place award in News Photography from the New Jersey Press Association and a Second Place award in News Photography from the Pennsylvania Press Association. Journalism is a second career for me. I got my start in public safety and did that for 20 years before jumping over to journalism. I specialize in covering breaking and spot news especially in situations where there is heavy law enforcement presence and or interaction with firefighters or paramedics, which nowadays is just about every large event and or disaster. Speaking the “language” of public safety, understand what is happening I can read the environment and anticipate the pending actions. Having this edge helps me better cover the news and ultimately stay safe. My work has been published in local news papers like the Express-Times and national publications including the New York Times and the USA Today. Chris is a contract freelance photographer with Lehighvalleylive.com / The Express-Times, Associated Press, NBC News, ABC News, WFMZ-TV, WTXF Fox 29, WPVI 6ABC, New York Daily News, Reuters and the Allentown Morning Call.

I am currently a senior at the Pennsylvania State University, from where I intend to graduate in May with a degree in Telecommunications (with a focus in production) and a minor in Business. I am 22 years old and grew up in Lansdale, PA, about 30 miles from Philadelphia. I am a very passionate and caring person and love to be around and interact with all kinds of people. In terms of stories, I am constantly searching for and researching stories of all types. However, I always find myself drawn to those that deal with culture, the environment, and human rights the most. I get extremely passionate about these three topics and am always looking to stay informed and find out what is going on with these topics in the world around me. I think that these topics really hit home for just about everyone in some way or another and tend to get a lot of reactions out of viewers. If given the opportunity, I would love to work on projects where we could bring these issues to light even more and make people more aware of what is happening around them on a daily basis.

I've worked professionally in all departments, making me an asset to any crew. On larger productions, I can communicate across departments and understand how my work fits into the bigger picture; with small teams, my diverse skill set allows me to fill multiple roles. I worked as a production assistant on union shows in the AD and Locations departments for several years. In February 2020, I was hired as a writer's Assistant for WWE SmackDown. Following this, I worked on non-union commercials in locations, G&E, and Art Deparment and as a freelance videographer and audio tech on corporate docu-style digital content. In 2023 I was the tour videographer, editor, and opener for comedian Steve Hofstetter. I currently edit social media content for comedian Sammy Obeid. The videos I've edited have received millions of views on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

New Jersey native now in Pittsburgh. I’ve spent 10 years in filmmaking making narrative shorts, documentaries, and branded content.

This and more have been seen at the Austin Indie Film Festival, The Sundance Creative Minds Fellowship, Campus Movie Fest, MTV, HBO Max spotlights, LA CineFest, and most recently, Dragon Cannes 2.

Over the past four years I have fallen in love with using digital tools to create and share wonderful stories with thousands of people. I am a recent graduate of Penn State University, where I majored in Visual Journalism and Political Science. Writing and photography were my chief mediums for storytelling until I started capturing stories using DSLR video over the last few years. The powerful combination of strong images, vibrant sounds, and video, I have learned, can be used to create wonderful representations of characters and/or tell stories worth sharing. Quite simply I enjoy creating multimedia content that engages whatever audience I am attempting to reach.
