Director Bio

Chandra Vandry lives in Austin, Texas with her husband William and their 3 fur-babies, Samson, Delilah and Eli. Chandra grew up mostly in Greeley, Colorado, but as a Navy brat and in the military herself, she lived everywhere from Guam to California and many places in between. A lifelong lover of animals, her first degree was in Field Biology and she worked at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. While she switched gears to caring for humans through nursing, she maintains a love of all animals. Her first experience in filmmaking was co-directing Got Pain?, with her husband William. The film chronicles their work in finding solutions for people with chronic pain. The movie Samson came from first hand experience from a sudden and unexpected case of canine paralysis. After chronicling Samsons progress, she decided to make a film, to give hope to others who experience this with their dogs.
