Although Andrew studied at the London School of Film Technique (1966 - 1968) he did not pursue film again until the early 90's. At this point Andrew felt that digital video technology was able to offer him the freedom and control previously denied.

Laughing Gas was Andrew's first feature-length production(60 minutes). It is a fictitious historical documentary about the spread of laughing gas around the world following Humphry Davy's discoveryof it. At the same time it's a romantic comedy about a hero's fall from fortune and a heroine's rise, of his losing a great estate and of her regaining it (if only it were so simple).
