Andrés Bronnimann. Film director, writer and producer.
I work across documentary filmmaking, original fiction and commercial films. My background is in independent journalism. The question behind the work stays close to that beginning: how do individual human stories connect to the larger world?
Journalism and documentary.
Born and raised in Costa Rica, with Mexican and Swiss roots, I began making movies at six with a Sony cassette camcorder. My documentary work looks at human stories in contrasting contexts, and the global issues they bring into view.
I write original screenplays and produce fiction through my film studio, dream stuff. I like moving between genres: comedy, horror, action and mockumentary. The work ranges from short films to series, with room for different visual languages and ways of telling a story.
Commercial films and campaigns.
I also direct selected commercial projects. HOUSEPLANT BY OCB, the mockumentary series ROLL WITH NATURE, and the UNITED NATIONS WORLD OCEAN’S DAY video campaign show different sides of that practice, from branded storytelling to work about shared global issues.
One practice. Different forms.
Documentary, fiction and commercial filmmaking ask for different approaches. Across them, I want the work to challenge familiar assumptions and make space for another perspective.
