Screening: ‘Andrea’s Gambit’ // The Culver Theater

MPI Original Films invites you to attend the Los Angeles premiere of the award-winning MPI Original documentary short Andrea’s Gambit on January 14 at 7:00 p.m., followed by a Q&A with director Rebecca Doyle, film subject and star Andrea Botez, composer Alexander Arntzen, editor Andrew Jewell, and MPI senior vice president and producer Lana Link.

The film follows Andrea, the 20-year-old daughter of immigrants who fled communist Romania, as she pursues master-level chess and builds a career in chess content creation in hopes of gaining admission to her dream university. But as her success in chess, content, and music accelerates, Andrea reaches a turning point: whether to continue on the traditional path to college or fully commit to her entrepreneurial momentum—raising the question of whether university will advance her ambitions or limit a career already taking shape.
