Biography

With a background in fine art, visual effects, puppetry and animation, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang explores alternative modes of storytelling to create lush, mythic worlds. His list of collaborators include Icelandic artist Bjork, among others including FKA Twigs, Radiohead's Thom Yorke and British director Joe Wright.

Huang served as creative director for Bjork's VR exhibition Bjork Digital, creating multiple immersive experiences within the pioneering traveling installation. His films and videos have exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; MoMA PS1; The Sydney Opera House, Sydney; The Barbican Centre, London; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

With his strength in world-building, Huang carries on his visual aesthetic as he continues his foray into narrative feature film. Huang is a Cinereach Fellow, a recent fellow in Film Independent's Directors & Screenwriters Labs, and a recipient of the K Period Media Fellowship grant. His most recent narrative short "Kiss of the Rabbit God" premiered at Tribeca Film Festival 2019.
