Glenn Andreiev, a self-taught filmmaker since his high school days, has had a fascinating journey in the world of cinema. His connection to the Lower East side punk scene is through his sister, Wendy Wild, a renowned punk star who passed away in 1996. Additionally, his father, Alexis Andreiev, played a crucial role in designing parts of the Lunar Module for NASA during the Apollo era.
Andreiev's early filmmaking days were spent working on the cult classic "StreetTrash" in 1985, where he honed his skills and gained valuable experience. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1987, he went on to produce and direct his first feature film, "Angela", which was later re-released under the title "Vampire's Embrace" to boost marketability.
The early 1990s saw Andreiev relocate to Jacksonville, Florida, where he attempted to start production on a Revolutionary War thriller, "Mad Wolf", and a cannibal-thriller, "Red Partners". Although some photography was done for the latter in 1993, neither project came to fruition at the time.
In 1995, Andreiev returned to New York and went on to direct a series of feature films, including "Night" (1997),"Mad Wolf" (1998),"Sharp and Sudden" (2001),"Every Move You Make" (2002),"Silver Night" (2005),and "The Deed To Hell" (2008).
Since then, Andreiev has shifted his focus to producing feature documentaries. His notable works include "The Make Believers" (2009),which explores the world of internet scams, "Lost Emulsion" (2016),a film about the plight of lost films and film preservation, "The Wendy Wild Story" (2017),a tribute to his sister, and more recently, "Found Emulsion" (2022) and "Long Island Joins The Space Race".
