About Me

Andy Brewster is a producer working on independently financed, sub 3M feature films from concept through delivery. Working at the intersection of creative development, production strategy, and finance, Andy helps transform promising stories into financeable, market-ready films by aligning creative vision with talent attachments, incentive strategy, budgeting, financing, and physical production.

His body of work spans narrative features, premium commercial campaigns, branded entertainment, and emerging production technologies. Andy has collaborated on projects alongside legendary producer Hal Lieberman and productions starring Percy Hynes White and Cassady McClincy. His commercial work includes campaigns and content for Universal Studios, Clorox, Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, Bandwidth, ShareFile, Blue Delta, and MNTN, the performance marketing agency co-founded by Ryan Reynolds.

Before shifting his primary focus to producing, Andy built his career as a First Assistant Director, leading productions for clients, directors, and artists including MrBeast, Courtney Coker, and half•alive. That experience continues to shape his work as a producer, giving him a practical understanding of how creative ambition translates into schedule, budget, and execution. He collaborated with Nicholas Kunstle to establish one of the Southeast's first virtual production production facilities, co-produced a groundbreaking immersive pitch designed for the Apple Vision Pro, and founded Wayfinder Pictures in 2023 to develop and produce original narrative projects.
