Andrea Margaret Higgins

Andrea Margaret Higgins is a writer, actor, producer, and filmmaker. Her screenplays focus on young protagonists who encounter the supernatural & magical realism and storylines that hover on the edge between family-friendly and scary—but that ultimately elevate the emotions. 

Andrea studies writing through the Story Grid Guild and is the Producer of The Write Fix Podcast--which invites listeners to tackle a writing prompt alongside a panel of writers each week. Her family-friendly feature, DANIEL AND THE SEA DRAGON, was named a quarter-finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Action & Adventure category. Her supernatural dance fantasy thriller, QUINTESSENCE DANCE, was named to Barnstorm Fest’s Short List and the Top 50 in ISA's Fast Track Fellowship. A short version of the same was a fellowship finalist at Stowe Story Labs.

Andrea's work as an actor and filmmaker is informed by her background in dance, choreography, theater, and film. She has explored the role of the arts as a community healing mechanism. First, as part of a study abroad program in Northern Ireland. Later, when she was selected to participate as an audience facilitator in NOTES FROM THE FIELD, Anna Deavere Smith’s one-woman social justice play about the prison pipeline in America's education system. 

Her directing and producing experience spans dance, theater, and film projects, including a recent short that she produced and directed through the Sundance COLLAB program. A member of SAG-AFTRA, she has appeared in television, film, and several short films.
