Andrew David Barker is a screenwriter, director, and author. Born in Derby, England in 1975, Barker has had pretty much every job going. In his time he has worked as a window fitter, a rail track worker, a factory worker, a carpet salesman, a car cleaner, a delivery driver, a bricklayers' labourer, a shop assistant, and a care worker, among others. None of them stuck. In the late 90s he played lead guitar in a rock band. They got signed, made a single, played London, thought they were famous, and, subsequently, imploded. As a filmmaker he wrote and directed the little seen opus, A Reckoning – a last man on earth tale which won acclaim from many who saw it - and has made several award-winning short films, including Laura Living Backwards, which he co-wrote, and Shining Tor. In the feature film world, Barker is a co-screenwriter on the forthcoming horror satire, The Wilding, and the writer/director of micro-budget chiller, The House on Lidderman Street. He is also the co-screenwriter of British gangland thriller, Improper Bastards, shooting this spring, and has several other projects in development for 2026. He is the author of The Electric, Dead Leaves, The Winterman, and Society Place, and is an Arts Council Grant recipient for his writing. He now lives in Warwickshire with his wife and daughters, trying to be a grown up.
