Their web series Border’d, a drama that centers on a trio of Latine siblings reuniting in their hometown, was featured on Open Television, an Emmy-nominated streaming platform amplifying diverse creators and boundary-pushing stories. In addition, it was selected to screen at Melbourne WebFest, Miami Web Series Festival and NVISION Latino Film & Music Festival. Andrew is also an Emmy Award winner for his work on Mardi Gras for All Y’all, a groundbreaking virtual celebration that reimagined cultural connection during the pandemic in New Orleans. As storytellers, the Nuño Twins are known for blending cinematic craft with emotional depth. Through their podcast, Twin Spin, they sit down with artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to explore the pivotal moments that shape who we become.
