Hell or High Winter

Andrew Rubin is a filmmaker, writer, and cofounder of the mental health education company Symptom Media. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he studied Film Production and History, he has spent over a decade in the trenches of Hollywood development as a screenwriter. Andrew codirected the inspirational documentary Ride with Larry, about Parkinson's, inspired by his father's battle against the disease. The film’s segment exploring Parkinson's and medical marijuana received global attention, and helped spark a broader conversation about dignity, treatment, and the role of alternative medicine. He is also the cofounder and president of Symptom Media, an innovative mental health education platform used by over 500 universities, hospitals and medical schools worldwide to help train students and clinicians and destigmatize mental illness. Andrew lives in California, where he divides his time between San Diego and Los Angeles.

"I loved Andrew Rubin's witty, imaginative, thrillingly inventive comic novel, a panoramic joyride through the religious omniverse. Read it or be cursed by every kind of God." —Simon Rich"Hell or High Winter is a crazy delight of a book, a rollicking comedic and thrilling fantasy with gods and goddesses and regular people tied together in a kind of Rube Goldberg adventure,  told at rocket speed by a very, very clever writer.  A terrifically funny romp, and if escapism is what you need, jump into this book now." —Bonnie MacBird, author of the Sherlock Holmes Adventure series
