THE STORY
Andy Froemke hails from the deep South but began his storytelling
career following Robert Redford around the rivers of Montana, co-producing/co-directing
Shadowcasting: The Making of A River Runs Through It. The documentary aired on PBS and French
Cable, garnered an Emmy nomination, and won a Gold Hugo at the Chicago Film Festival. Mr. Froemke made his
feature film directorial debut with the psychological thriller Parasite in 1995. Shot in 13
days in the Arizona desert for $40,000, the film would eventually sell to both Asian and North American video
markets.
Moving to Minnesota, he turned his focus from production to
screenwriting. In 2014, he provided scripted material for the ABC series
In An Instant, optioned a psychological thriller to Movierockets Entertainment, and won an
unprecedented 5 gold medals (for script of the month) Talentville.com. He was recently named winner of the
2016 Screenwriting Residency by IFP MN and the Knight Foundation.
A member of IFP Minnesota and the Minneapolis/St. Paul Film
Society, he enjoys supporting local filmmakers and fellow writers. When he's not sitting in a
theater, you'll find him in a library archive, indulging in his passion for history and finding
forgotten stories.
