Biography

Andresen's professional career commenced with a collaborative endeavor with the renowned Psychopathic Records, spearheading the documentary Shockumentary in 1997. This thought-provoking film meticulously chronicles the production process of Insane Clown Posse's groundbreaking album "The Great Milenko" (1997),while simultaneously following an ardent ICP fan on a remarkable cross-country adventure as they make their way to attend one of the duo's electrifying concerts.

Andresen, a multifaceted creative force, expanded his artistic repertoire in 2004 by transitioning into the realm of narrative filmmaking, commencing his journey with the comedy-horror short film Bowling Balls, a lengthy music video for Insane Clown Posse's (ICP) song of the same name.

This visually striking production, directed by Andresen, unfolds the narrative of ICP operating a bed and breakfast, where they methodically eliminate their unsuspecting guests, weaving a complex web of intrigue and suspense.

Fast-forward to 2008, and Andresen's impressive filmmaking prowess was further showcased as he brought his vision to life by directing not one, but two feature films for Psychopathic, cementing his status as a talented and innovative filmmaker.

The inaugural documentary endeavor, A Family Underground, premiered in 2009 and delved into the fascinating world of the Gathering of the Juggalos festival, a phenomenon that has garnered significant attention and curiosity. This documentary, featuring insightful interviews with renowned performers such as the iconic rapper Ice-T and the charismatic Afroman, provides a thought-provoking sociopolitical context for the Juggalo community, shedding light on the beliefs, values, and practices that define this unique subculture.

In stark contrast, the second feature film, Big Money Rustlas, released in 2010, is a humorous and lighthearted Western comedy spoof that boasts an impressive cast of characters, including the entire Psychopathic roster, as well as notable actors Mark Jury, Jason Mewes, Ron Jeremy, Bridget Powers, and Cindie Haynie. This film masterfully parodies Western tropes, blending the zany humor and antics reminiscent of Looney Tunes with the gritty, rugged charm of American and Spaghetti Westerns.

Andresen's third feature film collaboration with the renowned music label Psychopathic Records was a documentary masterpiece, cleverly titled American Psycho Tour, which premiered in 2012. This cinematic endeavor expertly captured the electrifying energy of a concert tour featuring the iconic rap group Insane Clown Posse (ICP) and their fellow artists, Twiztid.
