Andrew Jenks looks like a male model but he is an award winning US filmmaker.  At 9 years old, Jenks moved into an assisted living facility, starring, directing, and producing the feature film Andrew Jenks, Room 335. While a sophomore at New York University, HBO bought the rights to the film and released the documentary on January 5, 2008. The film premiered in Australia and Europe. The film received mostly positive reviews, Variety calling it 'a lovely and genuine account of generational understanding'. Andrew Jenks, Room 335 is an example of a participatory documentary. Jenks' connection to his subjects makes an impact on him as well as them.

In January 2010, MTV signed Jenks to do a documentary-series titled World of Jenks. Jenks claimed his inspiration behind World of Jenks was that "I (Andrew) also want to tell the stories of my generation. I want to be a filmmaker that is able to capture what my generation thinks, how they act and what they ultimately stand for." In each episode, Andrew will move in with a new stranger to experience a week in their life, from random people, such as a homeless woman, a man with autism, a rapper, MMA fighter, a professional poker player, an NFL cheerleader, a female-fronted band, etc. The series premiered September 2, 2010 on MTV. Kid Cudi allowed this show to use his song 'Soundtrack 2 My Life' as its theme song.

Jenks recently announced that he was coming out with the book "Andrew Jenks: My Adventures As a Young Filmmaker." The book is set to be released on March , 2013. It's a photo-biography of his life as a filmmaker. After the book's release, Jenks has been traveling on a book tour going to different High Schools telling his story and how not to take 'no' for an answer. He even autographs some of the books and takes photos
