I'm Andreena — a Holistic Nutritionist and Filmmaker who believes that what we eat and the stories we tell are two of the most powerful tools we have for changing how we live.
I grew up in Canada with proud Jamaican roots, which means food was always culture, memory, and love before it was ever a health topic. When I graduated from nutrition school, I noticed something missing: there were plenty of experts telling people what to eat, but almost nobody was showing them how to actually fit it into a real life — the one with the oxtail, the butter chicken, the tight budget, and the busy schedule. So I wrote the book I needed: The 80/20 Eater. Plant-powered foundation, with room for everything else. No guilt, no perfection.
The work looks different depending on the day. Some days I'm running a workshop in a school or speaking at a corporate wellness event. Some days I'm on a film set — producing, acting, or making sure the craft table isn't just sad granola bars. Other days I'm crafting a batch of seasonal Heavenly Cocoa Bites.
Where wellness meets real life — that's where I work. Glad you found your way here!
I am a Toronto-based filmmaker and performer with over a decade of experience across film, theatre, and production management. My film work lives in the world of short and micro films — intimate, intentional stories that don't need a massive budget to leave a lasting impression.
As a Producer and Production Manager, my greatest strength is building the right team. I believe the best films are made by people who don't just love the craft — they excel at it. I look for collaborators who bring both passion and expertise to their role, and who are ready to pour their creativity into something bigger than themselves.
There's something I've developed an eye for: recognizing where a person's talent truly shines. When I find it, I invite them in — not just to do a job, but to own their role, collaborate fully, and elevate the story alongside everyone else on the team. That's the environment I build, and that's where the best work happens.

"From the moment Andreena came on as production manager and co-producer for my short film A Damasked Damsel, I knew I'd found lightning in a bottle. She brought an ambitious 18th-century masquerade ball to life on a tight budget, kept every department running smoothly on shoot days, and used her connections to carry the project through post-production, a Nuit Blanche premiere, and eventually grant funding to expand it into a feature. From first draft to world premiere took just ten months — without Andreena's passion and problem-solving, none of it would have been possible."— Chi-Chi Onuah, Director/Writer, A Damasked Damsel
"Andreena is the definition of a team player — strong, vivacious, and always bringing so much life onto set and into her work. She creates work that is meaningful and art that is impactful. Her curiosity to learn is matched only by her drive: she's always willing to play whatever part she needs to in order to grow, and I believe she has the potential to go very far in this industry. Her passion for film and collaborating with others to bring a shared vision to life is contagious — she's both an excellent team player and a strong, motivating leader."— Jollene Phillips, Co-Founder, Millennial X
The Right Team Doesn't Happen by Accident
Great films are built before a single frame is shot. They're built in the planning, the preparation, and — most critically — in the people you put in the room.
Andreena Hofferden brings a rare combination to every production she touches: the creative instincts of a filmmaker and the operational precision of someone who has managed real sets, real budgets, and real timelines under pressure.
What sets her apart as a Production Manager and Line Producer is not just her ability to keep a production on track — it's her ability to see people. She builds teams that don't just function — they elevate the work.
She's not just filling roles. She's building your dream team.
If you have a short film, documentary, or media project and you're ready to stop figuring it out alone, Andreena wants to hear from you.
In addition to film projects, I'm also a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, wellness educator, and author of The 80/20 Eater.
My Jamaican roots are not a footnote in my approach to nutrition — they are the foundation.
I bring my nutrition expertise to speaking engagements, workshops, and collaborations that sit at the intersection of food, wellness, and culture. I make nutrition easy to understand, easy to incorporate into your lifestyle, and easy to maintain long-term with small, sustainable changes, week by week.
Healthy eating isn't hard if you're educated. Education is the core of a healthy lifestyle. If you've ever felt like the wellness world wasn't built for your table, your traditions, or your taste — this is where you belong.
"Working with Andreena completely changed how I think about food. She made plant-based eating feel natural, not restrictive — and she never made me feel like I had to give up the flavours I grew up with."— Workshop Participant
