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’s 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 Ohio University. 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’s work has earned her awards and recognition throughout her career. Most recently, she was a finalist for the Provost’s 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 Ohio University. 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’s extensive documentary career includes producing several documentaries, including “Fur Peace Ranch: It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This,” “Nancy Cartwright: The Voice of Success” and “OHIO Women Through the Decades.” In 2021, Andie received a Regional Emmy Award nomination for her work on “Legacy: Women of Southeast Ohio.”

Outside of the office, Andie produces and streams multicamera live music videos for Jorma Kaukonen’s 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.
