Andrew Lavigne

Director

Andrew Lavigne’s career began 20 years ago in the film and television industry as a Community TV Producer In Ottawa. In that time he has worked in various capacities of the business including Directing, Editing and Producing. From 1996-2007 Andrew worked in Vancouver on set as camera assistant (IATSE669). Working next to some of this generation’s best filmmakers and observing how stories were told inspired Andrew to begin telling his own.

Andrew is interested in the honesty and power of the human spirit, transforming ideas into visions, and creating pieces that are insightful and cinematic.
