AndrEw JOUSTRA
Writer & Producer
Who Dat?
Andrew is a writer based in Los Angeles, CA. Most recently he was the script & recording coordinator for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem at Nickelodeon Animation (which still feels unreal to say and was, in fact, the best gig ever).
His scripts have placed in numerous screenwriting competitions and earned him a spot on Coverfly’s Red List for Animated Television in 2023 and 2022. He is repped by Kelly Dyksterhouse at The Tobias Literary Agency.
Andrew mainly grew up in Florida, but tells everyone he's from Buffalo since he was born there and it doesn't have a reputation for swamp people or bath salts.
Andrew enjoys going to theme parks, comic conventions, watching movies, and sitting quietly.
Andrew's animated pilot script Craters was selected as a quarterfinalist in the 2023 Creative Screenwriting Pilot Competition, the 2021 ScreenCraft Sci-Fi & Fantasy competition and the 2021 Creative Screenwriting Animation Screenplay Competition.
He's currently adapting it into a pixel-art graphic novel and hopes to turn it into an animated series someday.
Andrew's pilot script Pathfinders (Temple of the Tiki) was a quarterfinalist in the 2023 Script2Comic Contest and the 2022 ScreenCraft Animation Competition.
