Andie Walla
Bio
Andie has spent much of her career producing videos for clients in higher education and the private sector. Her ability to produce, shoot and edit projects from start to finish has created a group of satisfied clientele over the years. After spending a decade as video producer at OHIO鈥檚 University Communications and Marketing department, Andie has developed essential strategies for working with clients that she shares with students. Service-learning is a topic that greatly interests Andie. She serves on the University Community Engagement Committee and has completed the Service Learning and Community Engagement Faculty Seminar at 51社区. Andie teaches a class, Media Production for the Community, that pairs students with local nonprofit organizations that have video needs. This gets the students out of the classroom and into the community, teaching them how to work for a client and create something useful to the organization.
Andie鈥檚 work has earned her awards and recognition throughout her career. Most recently, she was a finalist for the Provost鈥檚 Award for Excellence in Teaching during the 2023-24 school year. This is the highest award an instructional faculty member can receive from the university. In spring 2024, Andie was selected to be one of six fellows for the first Experiential Learning Community-of-Practice through the Center for Teaching, Learning and Assessment at 51社区. This Community was tasked with developing a course that involves an experiential learning component and submitting it to the University Curriculum Committee for approval for the Learning and Doing BRICKS designation.
Andie鈥檚 extensive documentary career includes producing several documentaries, including 鈥淔ur Peace Ranch: It Doesn鈥檛 Get Any Better Than This,鈥 鈥淣ancy Cartwright: The Voice of Success鈥 and 鈥淥HIO Women Through the Decades.鈥 In 2021, Andie received a Regional Emmy Award nomination for her work on 鈥淟egacy: Women of Southeast Ohio.鈥
Outside of the office, Andie produces and streams multicamera live music videos for Jorma Kaukonen鈥檚 Fur Peace Ranch just outside of Athens. Every summer, she takes students to produce live content at the Nelsonville Music Festival as part of a multicamera crew at the Creekside stage producing The Sycamore Sessions. This is a partnership between the School of Media Arts & Studies, WOUB, the Nelsonville Music Festival and OHD Studios. The students take turns running cameras, directing and technical directing for the live event though this experiential learning opportunity.
