Andrew H Brown

Andrew H. Brown is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and storyteller who has spent the past decade living and working across sub-Saharan Africa, first as a humanitarian, then behind the camera. His work centers on intimate, longform documentary projects that amplify often unheard voices and tackle the deep complexities of land, identity and power. Brown was the director, cinematographer, producer and editor of Between the Rains (Tribeca 2023 Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature and Best Cinematography; IDA Award nominee for Best Cinematography; Cinema Eye Honors nominee for Best Production). He is the co-director of Kikuyu Land (Mountainfilm 2026), alongside Bea Wangondu. He also directed Inseparable: Myia (Mountainfilm 2023). Brown was editor of National Geographic’s Emmy-winning Path of the Panther (executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio), a bold meditation on conservation in the Florida Everglades. Previously, Brown produced, shot and edited Kifaru (Mountainfilm 2019), a deeply personal look at the final years of the world’s last male northern white rhino and the small team of Kenyan caretakers that lived with him. As editor, he received a Jackson Wild nomination for Best Editing. His earlier work includes When Lambs Become Lions (Mountainfilm 2018; Best Editing, Tribeca Film Festival), a vérité portrait of the ivory trade in northern Kenya, developed over three years of on-the-ground trust-building within poaching networks.
