Biography
Dave J. Andrae was born on the Autumnal Equinox of 1979 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He has bounced around a bit and currently lives in Florida. Andrae is a novelist and multidisciplinary artist with a background in film and music. He holds a BFA in Film and has been making and releasing art in different mediums for over 25 years.
As a writer-director, his films and videos include The Plants Are Listening, Self-Important Empirical Film #3, with Voice-over, Robert on his Lunch Break, Fire in the Neighborhood, Fugazi’s Last Stop in Wisconsin, and Ped. Andrae has also acted in a few other directors’ work. Though some of the movies he’s been involved in have played at film festivals and cinema clubs around the globe, and received praise from cinematic luminaries, for the most part, his presence in the film world has been under the radar.
Following the completion of The Plants Are Listening in 2014, Andrae effectively put his filmmaking ventures on the blocks. He has since published two novels, Rem’s Chance and The Friends of Allan Renner, with a third now in the works. Amid these goings-on, he has also played music in the occasional live band or studio side project.
