Andrew Batista is a director born in Miami, raised between Buenos Aires and Pittsburgh, and based in Nashville after a decade in Los Angeles. That restless, cross-cultural upbringing shaped a filmmaking sensibility drawn to human stories told with cinematic weight. Work that feels both intimate and large.

His deep familiarity with the camera informs a visual precision that runs through everything he makes. His work spans Nike, Audi, Lyft, and Atlassian, and has earned Vimeo Staff Picks, a YDA shortlist, and selections at festivals including 5Point and Heartland. He is currently developing feature film and television projects.
