Producer: Andrew Cochrane
Upon completing an undergraduate degree in English Literature and Film Theory, Andrew Cochrane began his career in the production department of feature films as a production coordinator, manager and supervisor. A fifteen-year career working on studio films required some time for recuperation and creative reflection — which came in the form of a two-year hiatus studying for a Master of Arts degree in Sydney.
Alongside his continued involvement as a freelance contractor on international features, Andrew has co-produced with Jeremy Macey and the director Lauren Jackson, two short films both funded by successful grant applications from the New Zealand Film Commission. The first, I’m Going to Mum’s, premiered in competition at the 63rd Berlinale, followed by more than 30 international film festival screenings, winning seven prizes. Their second short film Tree will be released in April 2017.
