Andrew Kovac is a first-generation Slovak-American filmmaker living in Los Angeles, California, originally from the humble city of Akron, Ohio. Filmmaking began as a hobby: writing, shooting, and editing YouTube videos with friends in middle school, but steadily grew into a lifelong passion. Andrew has written, produced, and directed over twenty short films, several of which have been accepted into international festivals and earned multiple awards, including Best Picture at the Highland Film Festival for Good Years Gone. Film remains the perfect intersection of Andrew’s interests, blending character-driven storytelling with visual communication. He received his BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Akron before going on to graduate from the University of Southern California in 2025 with an MFA in Film & Television Production. Today, Andrew works as a freelance Assistant Director on short-form and feature projects in Los Angeles. He also freelances as a graphic designer and video editor, creating posters, title sequences, and other visual assets for film and media clients.
