Academy Award-nominated, Andrea Blaugrund Nevins has produced, directed and written for documentary film, television news, public radio and newspapers for over 25 years. Fresh out of Harvard, she cut her journalistic teeth as a small town sports reporter and photographer in the rural south. That southern love for telling a good story continues to inspire her. She went on to work at National Public Radio in Washington, DC, and eventually landed back in her hometown of New York producing critically acclaimed and award-winning documentaries for Peter Jennings: Reporting. This role garnered her an Emmy Award for her work on an ABC News/Time forum on the issue of gun control in America. After moving to Los Angeles, Nevins produced and wrote her first independent documentary project, which earned an Academy Award nomination. Titled Still Kicking, the 38-minute short chronicled the experiences of former dancers getting back on stage in their golden years. After a short hiatus in filmmaking to raise three kids, Nevins partnered with Reilly to tell the story of aging punk rocker’s turned fathers in The Other F Word, which served as the genesis of Rare Bird Films.
