Andy Froemke began his storytelling career behind the camera following Robert Redford around the rivers of Montana co-producing/co-directing Shadowcasting: The Making of A River Runs Through It.  The documentary garnered a Regional Emmy nomination and won a Gold Hugo at the Chicago Film Festival. Moving to Minnesota, he turned his focus from production to screenwriting.  Andy has been a four-time McKnight Screenwriting Fellowship Finalist and in 2016 he won the IFP North/Knight Foundation Screenwriting Residency with his historical biopic The Lowry Gang.  His most recent screenplay, Steal Away, is currently in development at Amazon Studios with Academy Award winner Charles Burnett attached as director.

Recently, he got back behind the camera writing and directing Song Without Words, an award-winning short at the LA Shorts International Film Festival. This past year, a film he wrote for Rikshaw Films, Nighthawks, was an audience-choice winner at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Int'l Film Festival 39 Redefined (Virtual).
