Dave Andrae Biography
Dave J. Andrae was born on the Autumnal Equinox of 1979 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He 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 nearly thirty 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 put his filmmaking ventures on the blocks.
He has since authored three novels--Wolf in Wanderley, Rem’s Chance, and The Friends of Allan Renner. Amid these goings-on, he has also played music in the occasional live band or studio side project.
