I’m Andrew Ruiz; a writer, producer, and production assistant based in Los Angeles who loves being part of creative teams and bringing stories to life. I’ve worked on film, TV, and commercial sets with companies like Felt Films, Sprintray, and Morton Jankel Zander, where I’ve done a bit of everything: organizing scripts and contracts, helping with call sheets, running set logistics, managing digital files, and jumping in wherever the crew needs support. Before working professionally, I studied Creative Writing and Screenwriting at USC and produced a bunch of short films and a viral Piara Pizza commercial that boosted the business’s engagement. Whether I’m helping shape a script, picking up props, or carrying gear across set, I’m someone who stays positive, adapts quickly, and genuinely enjoys collaborating with other creatives. At the end of the day, what sets me apart is that I bring both storytelling instincts and on-set hustle. I love solving problems on the fly, learning from the people around me, and helping make projects run smoother no matter the size.
