Andrew Hollander is a film composer, songwriter, and record producer. Named one of The Hollywood Reporter's 'Composers On The Verge Of The A-List”, Andrew Hollander is a uniquely gifted film composer, songwriter and producer. He has composed scores for many award-winning films, including Adrienne Shelly’s Waitress (Fox Searchlight) starring Keri Russell and Cheryl Hines. In addition to composing the score, he and Shelly co-wrote Baby Don't You Cry (The Pie Song), both of which were short-listed for the Academy Award. A breakout hit of the Sundance Film Festival, Waitress is one of the highest grossing independent films in history. Hollander also composed the score for Mike Birbiglia’s critically-acclaimed and Sundance Audience Award-winning film Sleepwalk With Me and My Friend Dahmer, starring Anne Heche and Dallas Roberts. One of the best-reviewed films of 2017, Variety called My Friend Dammer 'disturbingly compelling and original: a humanizing dissection of teen psychosis' while Rolling Stone declared it “a warped wonder of a movie”. The Hollywood Reporter praised Hollander’s score saying it “deepened the sense of dread” in a film that is “one of the most disturbing coming-of-age features in recent memory” and “an experience not easily shaken”. On the lighter side, Hollander scored the HBO Emmy award-winning series A Child's Garden of Poetry and co-wrote and produced the end-title song with Carly Rae Jepsen for the animated film Leap!, which grossed over $100 million worldwide.

Hollander is also an in-demand, versatile songwriter / producer having written / produced songs for everyone from Celine Dion and Carly Rae Jepsen to Brian Elmquist of The Lone Bellow and Rozes. He co-wrote 2 songs on Celine Dion's album Loved Me Back to Life which hit #1 in 31 countries. Most recently he has written and produced songs for Stanaj (Republic/UMG/Lava), Jojo (Interscope), and one of the UK’s biggest breakout artists of the year, Adam French (Virgin EMI).

My Friend Dahmer is directed by Marc Meyers with Ross Lynch, Anne Heche, Alex Wolff, Dallas Roberts and Vincent Kartheiser.

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys in the American Midwest, becoming one of history’s most infamous serial killers. This is the story before that story. Jeff (Disney Channel’s Ross Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. His bizarre behavior at school attracts unexpected friends, a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff, “Patriots Day”). But as they near graduation, Jeff’s depravity continues to take hold, and he spirals further out of control. Based on Backderf’s critically acclaimed 2012 graphic novel and written for the screen and directed by Marc Meyers, MY FRIEND DAHMER is the haunting, sad, funny, true story of Jeffrey Dahmer in high school.
