About

Bottle Rocket World Entertainment Corp is the production company of Winnipeg based Writer/Director/Producer Andrew Wall. It is the production platform for his documentary and comedy films.

Andrew’s career began in earnest making local TV commercials and corporate video. Eventually opportunity knocked and CTV Manitoba gave Andrew the opportunity to write and direct his first documentary, Frostbite: Manitoba and the Cold War. It was produced by Kyle Bornais at Farpoint Films and began a working relationship that has continued to this day.

Following Frostbite, Andrew began editing for Farpoint Films on a variety of projects including a television series for The Comedy Network, House Party. Under directors Kelly Makin and John Barnard, it was a phenomenal experience that plunged Andrew into comedic drama at a national level.

Andrew has edited numerous reality series, a comedy pilot for CBC, and many national airing documentaries including the Hugo Award winning Lost Bones documentary, directed by John Barnard and produced by Kyle Bornais.

Somehow in it all Andrew and Bottle Rocket found time to shoot a film called The Long Wooden Tobogganist. A four and half minute comedy short that has gone round the world, screened in over 40 festivals and won numerous awards: the coveted Golden Duck at the New Beijing International Movie Week festival, an Accolade Award, Indie Award and a Rising Star Award at the Canada International Film Festival.

Following The Long Wooden Tobogganist, Bottle Rocket produced (Written and Directed by Andrew Wall) a much more complicated 8-minute short film, The Table. The short was shot on a combination of HD and Red Camera, involved over 20 actors and is set to premiere at the Gangrene Comedy Film Festival in Utah, 2011.

This past year Andrew also directed The Paper Nazis: Winnipeg’s Fascist and Nazi movements of the 1930′s. Produced with Kyle Bornais and Farpoint Films, it has already won an Accolade Award of Excellence and screenings are being requested from educational and human rights groups from all over North America. It will be on the festival circuit starting this fall.

While Andrew’s resume is always steadily building as an editor, his passion for creating both documentary and comedy through Bottle Rocket continues to drive him forward. Andrew and Bottle Rocket are already set for another year of production in 2011 and are grateful to the broadcasters, producers, organizations and talent that continue to give their support.
