Andrew Kessler quit his job to live on Mars. His granny thought it was a crazy idea but figured if this book thing doesn't pan out, his new knowledge of spacecrafts will get him a job at NASA. Andrew has produced, written and directed award-winning content for television, print, and the web.
As part of his Phoenix Mars training, Kessler co-produced Mars: The Quest for Life, a Discovery Channel documentary about the mission. A co-creator of the My Home 2.0 TV series, Kessler was responsible for all creative aspects of this innovative technology make-over show.
Part of a writing duo that invented a high school sophomore superhero training to be the “fastest human on the face of the earth,” his “Bring the Fast” series of Web films garnered accolades, awards, and audiences with its quirky take on branded content.
Kessler’s projects earned dozens of awards, including the Cannes Cyber Lion Silver, The One Show Interactive, Horizon Interactive, New York Addys, and multiple Webby wins. Before working in advertising, but after running an illegal art gallery in the south of France, Kessler wanted to be a mathematician, so he got his degree at the University of California at Berkeley.
