Director Philippe Andre Joins Biscuit Filmworks
 

Director Philippe Andre now calls Biscuit home in the US.

Director Philippe Andre has joined Biscuit Filmworks for North American commercial representation. Well established across Europe as a nuanced visual storyteller, Andre has garnered top awards at Cannes, the London International Awards and the New York Festivals for his advertising work.
 
"I've had the privilege of working on incredible projects all over the world," Andre says.  "When I was looking to establish a new commercial presence in the US, I knew Biscuit would be the right fit. Their directors are very talented and they produce some of the best creative in the business-creative that showcases a palette of very different styles with room for me to fit in and express my own voice."
 
"Philippe is an exceptional director and we're already getting a lot of enthusiasm about his work from clients," says Shawn Lacy, Managing Director of Biscuit.  "He's gotten to know our staff, reps and directors, and we know that he'll be a great addition to the Biscuit family."
 
Andre found his way into filmmaking by way of music, a love of which remains evident in his storytelling style. He has been awarded with multiple Cannes Gold, Silver and Bronze Lions for such spots as Airtel's "Endless Goodbye," Persil's "Roboboy" and Peugot's "Toys."  The latter spot garnered over 20 advertising awards worldwide.  Directing for over ten years, Andre's work also includes spots for Lacoste, Nissan, Guinness, Adidas, Samsung, AT&T and Toyota, among others.
 
The director will continue to be represented for commercials by wanda in France and Independent in the UK, and is represented in the US for feature films by William Morris Endeavour Entertainment and managed by 360 Management. He also writes and directs short films, and has two full-length feature films in development.
