HUGO ANDRE, a UK-based writer and director, is exclusively profiled in the September issue of VIEWTIES — a digital publication founded and created by Vanesa Miraglia — whose goal is to give readers an “intimate” look at creatives from around the world.

Although confident and charismatic at work, he hides a secret life …. I then wanted to add another character into the mix, an introverted French food critique named Sacha, who rents a spare room ….
