Andy To

Andy grew up in East Oakland and has been making films ever since his grandfather introduced him to his Sony Hi-8 and the stories he would capture on his travels back to Saigon. Learning from his documentary style, he learned to develop his own way of seeing, creating and shooting. He’s been fortunate to find his bliss in creating photos and video; which has given him opportunities to combine his passions for travel and filmmaking into one. His approach is to keep it simple, using just his phone and a gimbal to capture the world around him.
