Andrew Sensenig adds Sorrow to his diverse body of work

March 18, 2015

Andrew Sensenig could be called a “jack of all trades” in the entertainment industry. Not only does he act but he also produces, directs and even performs voice over work. Next month, he will add indie horror film Sorrow to his long list of credits.

Sensenig has known writer and director Millie Loredo for two years and was excited to take on the role of Chief Gonzales when he read her script for a full-length feature horror film.

“The film is a true classic when it comes to horror, yet the characters have a darker underbelly,” he said. “And, of course, having this cast and crew is hard to beat.”

He currently stars in another indie horror film called We Are Still Here, which premiered at SXSW Film & Music Festival in Austin, Texas on Monday, and Sorrow has been submitted for acceptance to the Brooklyn Film Festival.

Sensenig said he enjoys being a part of independent films because of the stark differences between indie films and studio films.

“While the studio projects are always great, being part of an independent film allows for tremendous collaboration,” he said. “There's something very rewarding about being able to talk with your cast mates, the director, the writer, the producers and everyone else who becomes an integral part of the final product.”

Sensenig said he hopes the Brooklyn Film Festival accepts Sorrow into its competition, because it is a unique horror film with novel characters and back story.

Whether the film is accepted into the competition or not, Loredo and the cast will tour to screen the indie horror film next month in six cities in five different states following its premiere at River Oaks Theatre in Houston, Texas and on Amazon Prime Tuesday, April 21. Sensenig is optimistic about a positive reception from audiences across the country.

“In addition to having a stellar cast and director, the story is incredibly powerful,” he said. “The horror genre community always likes a good scare, and there is something special about Sorrow that will keep the audience begging for more.”
