About

My name is Andrew Meriwether and Little Earth Quake is the studio name I work under as a documentary filmmaker. Before film, I spent years as a podcast and radio producer in Chicago, making work for WBEZ, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Northwestern University, among others.

I direct, shoot, and edit my own documentary work, and I take on editing, mixing, and production sound for other filmmakers and clients. I’m drawn to stories that unsettle our assumptions and provoke conversations.
