Dree Andrea Documentary Filmmaker Talks About Her Latest Film: Mr. Right
March 17, 2007 by
Dree Andrea is as some would call her a 'Jack of all trades, master of some'. Andrea is an international award-winning filmmaker who was born in Amsterdam. She has always been fascinated with New York City. When Andrea first set foot in 
New York City for the first time in 1989, it literally put a spell on her and some would say that she has put a spell on New York City. Ever since, she has been traveling back and forth from Old Amsterdam, picking up creative assignments that she was passionate about. But she has always had a real love of New York City.
One of her most current works is a documentary filmed in New York City called Mr. Right, about finding Mr. Right in New York City. Many women can relate to Andrea's search for Mr. Right as the documentary takes her through New York City searching for her Mr. Right.
Dree is a also a Reiki practitioner interested in shamanic studies and holistic healing. She graduated as a vegan and vegetarian chef at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health. She is also a ceramic artist, illustrator and writer. She has a website Dree in the big city www.dreeinthebigcity.com.
What was the inspiration for your documentary Mr. Right?
Over the years I have grown more and more intrigued exploring how people emotionally survive the (often cold and impersonal) ways of American city life. I've asked myself whether living in the city is as crazy, impersonal, fast-paced and lonely as they sometimes say. But I've found that there is a hidden intimacy, love and support amongst New Yorkers that some people may not be aware of. This was a theme in my previous two films about New York, The Tunnel (about the homeless) and All Visitors Must Be Announced (about doormen). Mr. Right, (about singles), although a separate project, feels to my like a natural 'part 3' of a trilogy.
When did you start filming your documentary and where is it filmed?
I started filming in 2003, after about 4 years of research. Most of it was shot in New York, with the exception of the hometowns of the three main characters.
How long did it take to film and create your documentary?

Key issues women should know about themselves before snaring the elusive Mr. Right. Post-modern singles are dumbstruck with 60-hour workweeks, amassed credit card bills, and a penchant for selfishness that rivals the greediest of corporate whores.
