Kip Andersen

Founder, AUM Films and Media

Kip Andersen’s environmental awakening came as a result of An Inconvenient Truth. After seeing the film, he began to recycle religiously, turn off lights constantly, shower infrequently, and ride a bike instead of driving. Andersen believed he was doing everything he could to help the planet by following the guidelines of national and international environmental organizations, but his life took a different direction when he found out animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction. He is the founder of AUM Films and Media, a 501c3 non-profit focused on creating films and media that promote thrivability, compassion, and harmony for all life. He co-produced the film, Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret.

Andersen is a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo school of business and has called San Francisco home for more than a decade. He is also an entrepreneur, as well as a certified Jivamukti and Kundalini yoga teacher.
