We had the good fortune of connecting with Andre Nguema and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andre, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
One of the best and fastest way to become original is to copy enough and allow yourself to be inspired by others to the point where you become authentic.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a filmmaker and I fell in love with the language of image. I’ve been an avid fan of movies since my childhood and I was more intrigued by the motion picture when my mind started to analyze film structures while at the movie theater with my friends. I’m excited to make my first feature film hopefully soon. I would say copy, copy enough to the point where you become original. So many artists have done it, one best example is Michael Jackson and his famous moonwalk. He appropriated the move so well it became his brand. I hope to do the same with one of my movies. The main lesson I’ve learned with working with people is at the end of the day it’s about the people. Movies will be forgotten. Songs will fade but the memories and the pictures, the smiles, friendships, that’s what remains longer. At our funerals, the dawn of our lives the ones who stay won’t remember us movies we’ve made per se but more for the impact we had on others. What I want the world to know about me is ” I’M COMING” and I’m coming to make you so emotional, you’ll cry

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Monday I’ll take them to eat burritos on Westheimer, tuesday we’ll go to the roller skating park in downtown, Wednesday we visit galleria shopping mall, Thursday let’s go on the skywalks in memorials, Friday to the zoo, Saturday to AMC Theather, Sunday let’s go to Church.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
To Cesar what’s Cesar’s and to GOD what’s GOD’s. The first who deserves any type of recognition for any form of success in my life is Jesus Christ. Then my parents who worked hard enough to give me a future, my church family who were kind enough to accept me as their own despite my wayward behavior and all the people I know, or don’t who have invested in my life in one way or other. Then a big shout out to myself for not have chosen suicide when times where almost insurmountable.
