André surely knows how to make films that stand out from the crowd. Have a look at his favorites to discover his unique style: Quirky and imaginative.

His playful live-action films reveal a fine sense for tongue-in-cheek humor. Andre holds a master's degree in visual trickery involving splitscreens, animated GIFs, in-camera effects, stop-motion and flipbooks. And in his pranks & social experiments you'll see that he loves to improvise and capture authentic reactions. 

He is the type of director who can make instant noodles look cool and turn Christmas trees into (friendly?) human beings. 

Andre has a sense for a strong concept that he blends with his surprising take on reality. As a director he is fully dedicated and a pleasure to work with.
