About Andy
Over the course of eight years and four award-winning short films, Andy Blubaugh has emerged as an insightful and innovative storyteller. Whether showcasing the unintentional hilarity of the dating world through personal ads, or exposing the injustice of mandatory minimum sentencing, Blubaugh has developed a unique style of filmmaking, connecting the events of his own life to a greater human experience. Blubaugh’s compelling perspectives led the editors of Filmmaker magazine to name him one of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” that are reshaping the medium. His work has been screened at over 100 film festivals worldwide, including the Sundance, Margaret Meade, Edinburgh, and Seattle International Film Festivals, as well as queer film festivals in Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Turin. His films have also been showcased on the PBS program P.O.V. and the LOGO Television Network’s The Short List. Blubaugh is a recipient of the prestigious Media Arts Fellowship established by the Rockefeller Foundation (now The Tribeca Film Institute), as well as grants from the Regional Arts and Culture Council and the Oregon Arts Commission. He has served as the associate director of the Portland Documentary and Experimental Film Festival and as Coordinator of the Northwest Film and Video Festival. Blubaugh is also an instructor at the Northwest Film Center School of Film in Portland, Oregon.
