ANDREE LJUTICA

Biography

Born in New York City to an immigrant father from Montenegro and an American mother from the midwest, Andree allows the tension in this upbringing to inform his work at every turn.

His imagery is marked by brooding color and expression; an attention to graphic composition and rigor informed by his training as a painter. As such approach is both formalistic and human. His narrative and documentary film works have screened for audiences as far as Australia’s esteemed Flickerfest, the Dance on Camera Film Festival at Lincoln Center, and with his most recent film, "Punta Cana," as an official selection at such prestigious film festivals as Palm Springs International and Guanajuato International. His latest short film, “How to Say I Love You at Night,” a seventeen minute single-take story about two young men on a date gone awry is touring internationally, having visited numerous Oscar-qualifying festivals from Australia’s esteemed Flickerfest, the Palm Springs International Film Festival, to Manchester International, and finally, home in New Jersey’s International.

His commercial film and photography clients have included Nike, New York-Presbyterian, AirFrance, Brooklyn Museum, Everlast Boxing, Naked Music, Teen Vogue, Flaunt Magazine, Phosphenes Magazine, Nowness.
