Andrew Gavin Hicks:
“Following an intense passion for film, but in his own words, didn’t know a Monet from a Mondrian, Andrew decided that he should go for a less conventional film education completing a BA in Integrated Media, more like constantly and consistently starting new projects at OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) in Toronto Ontario, Canada as of May, 2010. He has tried to master photography, screen printing, and design all on his own and of course taken every conceivable film course the school had to offer.
Andrew has designed countless posters for music events in Toronto, collaborated in the screen printing show The Way We Were, screened his thesis film at XSPACE for the Images Festival, and curated and exhibited collage work at the infamous Pictures 2 appropriated art all-nighter.
Deciding that he is not ready for the real world combined with the uncomfortable position of being an artist in an anemic economic market, Andrew will add to his academic achievements by completing a Masters of Cinematic Studies at the University Of Western Ontario while working on a second short film based on the prolific downtown New York art/music/video scene of the late 1970′s and early 80′s.”
