André is the son of legendary Executive Producer of Childrens
Television, Preben Vridstoft. When he was only 12 years old, his father
hired him as a production assistant and runner (uncredited) on some of
his productions. He intended to dilute André's fascination with this
line of work by showing him all the complications involved with
producing television. Unfortunately for him that only made André's
interest much greater.
André went on from the Danish Gymnasium to study Philosophy and Film &
Media Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. He also took a course
at the European Film College, and followed several courses on
management structure and leadership roles within the film industries
held by the Copenhagen Business School. In between these studies he
worked as volunteer on a number of small productions and student films
from the Danish film schools.
He currently works freelance, and runs a small productions company
called Charlie Papa Hotel Productions.
