Andrea Sixt
Writer and DirectorCreating films is a lot like building houses. Andrea knows this firsthand, having started her career as a freshly-minted engineer on large construction sites. Structure, planning, execution – these are second nature to her. But something was missing: creativity, inspiration, and a splash of color. Even as a 12-year-old, she had a flair for storytelling, penning a horse novel that, while buried under the demands of her engineering life, never quite left her.
Then came the life-altering moment: a shock diagnosis that turned everything upside down. Today, reflecting on that time, she says cancer was the best thing that could have happened to her. It pushed her to change her life and pursue her childhood dreams of having her own horse and diving into writing. She didn’t just dabble; she went all in. Her first script was a hit, and her biggest triumph came with the Bavarian comedy Eine ganz heiße Nummer, where she wrote the novel, screenplay, and play.
For her, filmmaking is all about teamwork. And when she wants to express herself fully, she turns to novels. Her drive is unstoppable, especially when a project tugs at her heart. Andrea never stops improving herself and has consistently worked over the years with screenwriting legends like Michael Hauge, James V. Hart, Christopher Vogler, Steve Kaplan, and others. And when directing opportunities came knocking, she seized the quiet of the COVID-19 pandemic to train under Mark Travis.
As far as film genres go, she views it like Walt Disney, who had recurring nightmares about one of his films being shown in a small arthouse cinema. Her biggest joy is creating stories that resonate widely, stories that make people laugh and leave their world a little brighter. And her biggest moment? Leonardo DiCaprio congratulating her on the Oscar. Not kidding – he really did!
