Conversations with Andrew Huff

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrew Huff

Hi Andrew, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I (Andrew) grew up originally in East Tennessee. Jae was a military brat and has called bases around the world home. We met at Liberty University and fell in love making goofy videos while traveling with an evangelistic drama team. From there we spent a decade building a life together in Texas and Virginia. Jae was primarily a stay-at-home mother while I was in full time ministry. But on the side we still continued to pursue creative work: Jae has voiced over 50 audiobooks and I was fortunate to have published three thriller novels. Feeling called to pursue a full time life in media production, I left church ministry to work for a company in Texas for five years as a Creative Director until we decided the time was right for us to work together to build our own company. Huff Media Productions was launched in September of 2021 and since then we have worked on several short films, feature productions, television projects, and more. Jae produces while I write and direct. Together we have won over 45 awards for our productions. While we launched our business while living in Texas we knew we always wanted to officially land in the Nashville area and moved to Murfreesboro, TN in the summer of 2022.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I like to joke that we decided to make every life change you could think of at the same time. Shortly before launching our business, we also started the process of a kinship adoption of two young boys. So between May of 2021 and June of 2022, we became a family of six, launched a business, and moved to a different state! In addition to the challenges of changing family dynamic, we aimed our sights for our business on producing entertaining film and television content, something that has proven to be extremely challenging. While entertainment can be high reward, it is more the case that it is high risk. Couple that with the fact that we are also wanting to create content that is uplifting and promotes traditional values, a goal that does not align with the industry at large.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Our mission is to create entertaining stories that are both exciting and filled with what we call eternal truth. While this often means promoting explicitly Christian ideals, we also believe that there are positive values that are universal in nature and what to tell and promote stories that may simply reflect those values in a more implicit way. The way we like to think of it is that we want to create movies, TV shows, and books that feel like the ones we grew up on ourselves in the 80s and 90s. We specialize in stretching a production dollar, making low budget productions feel like they were made by big budget studios. Our flagship production is a streaming kids series called “Dot Conner: Webtective” (www.dotconner.com) about a teen detective who treats questions about life and faith as mysteries to solve. We just adapted the series into a feature length family movie that we are aiming to release theatrically in 2025.

Any big plans?
The “Dot Conner: Webtective” feature film is our first foray into making original, entertaining movies that honor traditional values and are devoid of political agendas. We believe audiences across the country are hungry for a film like this, and we hope that its success will allow us to continue to deliver high quality, exciting stories across multiple media platforms. Our desire is to bring more productions into the Middle Tennessee area and be a part of the community building a “Third Coast” here in Nashville that rivals if not surpasses Los Angeles and New York.
