Andrea Nordgren Bio

I'm a Colorado-based commercial, branded content, and film director whose visual approach to telling moving and inspiring stories is intimate, vibrant, and human. My nomadic childhood shaped me into a highly agile creator with an intense curiosity about human behavior, a life-long wanderlust, and a passion for championing diverse communities, cultures, and causes. I have a degree in psychology and a background as a substance-abuse therapist, which elevate my natural ability to genuinely connect with people. While my roots began in docu-style storytelling and I'm highly-skilled in working with real people, I'm experienced in the narrative space and love working with professional talent. My set style is frequently described as calm, kind, and collaborative. When not obsessed with prep or directing, I'm likely hiking, running, or attending a film festival.

I've been on The 3% Movement team as Executive Producer since 2013, working to change the ratio of creative leadership and spark positive action in areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the ad industry and beyond.

I'm a Chicago native (Go Cubs! And yes, I love The Bear) who migrated to Milwaukee and worked as a CD & EP the better part of my career. Now I'm in beautiful Colorado, working as a director and creative producer and forging ahead to create more opportunities and grow and elevate the diverse talent we have here in the Colorado film and media community.
