“No matter how far you go in life, never forget where you came from”

— Gramps

Andy To is a New York City based filmmaker, commercial director, and creator from East Oakland, California. Raised by his grandparents, Andy discovered filmmaking as a teenager and built his career around the belief that the most powerful stories come from lived experience, curiosity, and a distinct point of view. His work blends cinematic craft with the immediacy and personal connection of digital storytelling, allowing him to move between global productions and creator-led films without losing the humanity at the center of the story.

Andy has collaborated with brands including Apple, Sony, Canon, Nikon, DJI, Meta, AT&T, Nike, United Airlines, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Ford Mustang, Jaguar, and Formula 1. As a hybrid creator and commercial director, he brings the instincts of a filmmaker and the direct audience relationship of a digital storyteller to every project. YouTube remains his favorite platform, giving him the space to create longer-form work that is personal, cinematic, and built to connect. Whether directing a campaign, documenting a journey, or telling a story from his own life, Andy’s goal is to create work that feels honest, human, and emotionally lasting.
