Andrew Lanni is a Scottish Film producer from Kirkwall in Orkney. He has also worked on various films as an assistant director.
Andrew Lanni studied Digital Film & Television at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. During his time here, he worked as a producer on the film The Taxidermist which was later nominated for the Best Fiction accolade at the 2012 British Academy Scotland New Talent Awards. It also was nominated again for the Best Fiction accolade at the student awards ceremony run by the Royal Television Society.
In 2013, he was reunited with his fellow students John McPhail and Tyler Collins for the short film Notes in which Lanni was the producer. Together with McPhail, the pair pulled in a lot of favour from friends and family in order to gain equipment, locations and crew to make the film.Notes was the first part of a trilogy of short comedy films with V for Visa and Doug & Steve's Big Holy Adventure completing the series in the same year. The films were positively received by critics with V for Visa being selected to have its North American premiere at Robert De Niro's TriBeCa Film Centre in New York as part of the Bootleg Film Festival. The film went on to win the Best film accolade at the festival.
During the filming of the comedy trilogy, Lanni agreed to produce a short 3 minute film called Just Say Hi to enter into the 2013 edition of the Virgin Media Shorts Competition. The film, written and directed by McPhail, tells the story of a blossoming romance between a boy and a girl who meet every morning at a bus stop. The film made it through to the top 13 out of a short list of 250 films. Lanni and the production team were presented with the awards at a ceremony in London where they picked up 2 out of the 3 awards of the evening which included £5,000 in film funding with mentoring from the British Film Institute and a voucher for £5,000 to spend on Nikon Equipment. The film was later picked up by the Très Court International Film Festival where it was screened in over 100 cites in 23 countries.
