AndrEw JOUSTRA
Writer & Producer
Who Dat?
Andrew is a writer based in Los Angeles, CA. He is currently writing an unannounced animated project at Paramount Animation and also serving as the script supervisor for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel.
Andrew has dwelled in the sewer for a while now, having also been the script & recording coordinator for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (streaming on Paramount+ probably!)
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 Najeeb Khuda at Zero Gravity for film/tv and Kelly Dyksterhouse at The Tobias Literary Agency for publishing.
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's hobbies include watching movies, eating mall pretzels 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.
