ANDREW
SILBERMAN
CO WRITER | PRODUCER | COLLABORATOR
Former Director of the Personal Assistance Service at Duke University, Andrew Silberman’s creative tendencies have been unleashed in his second co-written film with his daughter, Rachael Silberman.
After getting a taste of film life while directing an entry for the Doritos’ Super Bowl Commercial Competition in 2010, Andy’s humorous storytelling has been lying in wait for the perfect project. Retiring to Compass Pointe down in Leland, NC in 2017, Andy became a Pickleball fanatic (along with hundreds of other North Carolina residents) and thus the idea of creating the short film “D!NK” was born. Who doesn’t love a good ole sports spoof from a father-daughter duo?
