Nick Andrews

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Andrews is an amateur filmmaker who lives in Helena, Montana.

A senior at Capital High School, Nick formed a production company called Nandrews Productions. He features his work on YouTube^[1], and one of his films has garnered national attention, called My Hands Are Bananas. Reminicent of the playful MTV music videos from the 80's and an SNL "Sprokets" skit, the film is a collage of seemingly unrelated nonsensical sequences, put to a dark German Techno beat. The German accents in the video are also convincing, seeing as the film is made by local teens in Helena, Montana.

To date, My Hands Are Bananas has been viewed over 2.7 million times, thousands of viewer comments have been left, and it has been marked as a favorite more than 19 thousand times on YouTube. Nick used several locations around Helena to film the video. According to an Associated Press Syndicated Story, Andrews plans to attend film school in either Bozeman or Los Angeles and says he’d like to make thoughtful comedies.^[2]

The story was first published by the Helena Independent Record ^[3] then other local and regional newspapers, to "The Today Show," and printed in the Chicago Tribune.^[4]
