Andrew Kende

Hi my name is A. Kende, a little to know about me is I love carrying a camera everywhere hitting the record button. This technology that is widely available in everyone's pocket amazes me. When I first came to Nocca as a sophomore, I honestly didn't know much about making a short film, other than clicking record and snapping some footage together and hoping that it came out well. But being here with professional artists as teachers has given me the proper training to be more thoughtful about story and why it matters so much in film.

Can't Help Falling

Huge shout out and thank you to Mr. Webb, I am very grateful to have had as a teacher and this film would have not happened without him. I came up with the general plot for this short film at the end of my junior year, piecing it all together in a google docs table with the lyrics on the other side from an Elvis Presley song. Over the summer I thought about it a few times, and the second month into senior year opened up the document and used it as my senior thesis proposal because I didn't have anything else to present. So after telling him my idea about these two kids who were split up because of Katrina, he was very enthusiastic about the idea. Weeks of planning passed and came casting, things fell into place because Mr. Webb's son Memphis fit the main character age, and so did his best friend Saskia. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this by myself, this was a product of hard work from the cast and crew, Alyvia, Alex, and Jordan.

Fluorescences (Music Video)

I remember the first time I listened to this song, It wasn't the original by Stereolab but the cover that Masaaba made in the studio. It made me feel happy hearing the bubbly intro and trumpets, everything about the song was perfect to me, I could listen to it over and over again. After Masaaba re-recorded the track with Paris (the girl in the video) singing, I knew we had to make a video.
