Bio
Andrea Foxworthy is a freelance impact producer, based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
She is currently Impact Producer of the survivor-led feature documentary LEFT WRITE HOOK (2023) which will have its World Premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2024. Since 2022 she has Impact Produced for the AACTA & Walkley Award nominated feature documentary FRANKLIN (2022), the second highest grossing Australian documentary in 2022 remained in Australian cinemas for over 22 weeks. Through partnered screenings with Amnesty International Australia and the Australian Democracy Network, the film is being used to platform peaceful protest as a human right and an essential component of a functioning democracy, and highlighting the erosion of the freedom to protest in Australia over the past decade. She has collaborated with partners and educators to develop ten free FRANKLIN learning resources for secondary students.
In 2023 she participated in Documentary Australia’s inaugural IMPACT PRODUCER PROGRAM. In this program she contributed to the development and implementation of the impact strategy for the Sydney Film Festival Documentary Australia and Sustainable Future Award nominated, CLIMATE CHANGERS (2023) and an ambitious national launch event for the film. She also contributed to research for the educational screenings component of the impact campaign for UNDER COVER (2022). Andrea co-produced (with Philippa Campey of Film Camp) the feature and TV documentary BRAZEN HUSSIES (2020), which was selected for the AIDC Impact Strategy Hack (2018) and was eventually nominated for Best Feature Documentary at the AACTA (2020) and AIDC Awards (2021) and was nominated for AACTA Best Factual Program (2021). At Sensible Films she worked on the impact campaign of the CinéfestOZ prize-winning PUTUPARRI AND THE RAINMAKERS (2015). Andrea produced ON HER SHOULDERS (2011) for UN Women Australia and co-produced INDONESIA CALLING: JORIS IVENS IN AUSTRALIA (2009). She holds dual Australian and Irish citizenship.
