Andrew Michael Geller’s mid-20th century architectural designs helped shape the modern esthetic. His architectural archive includes hundreds of drawings, thousands of photographic slides and prints, many 8 mm films, numerous memos and other communications, and dozens of architectural models. Some of this material has never been studied and it is apparent that there are many Andrew Geller works constructed around the world yet to be discovered and identified. The archive must be properly cataloged, photographed and scanned. Once this has been accomplished the Geller family will oversee the preservation of the archive in an academic facility.

Jake Gorst, documentary filmmaker, historian and Geller's grandson, will capture the process of discovering and cataloging the archive on film. Where possible he will visit the locations of structures previously unknown as Andrew Geller works. The result will be a documentary that will not only discuss the life and work of Andrew Geller, but will also demonstrate the archival preservation process. The film will be screened at festivals, libraries and schools. Distribution to PBS stations across the United States is also under consideration.

Geller's beach house architecture was what he produced in his private time. During the day he served as the Vice President of Housing and Home Products at the New York office of world renowned industrial designer Raymond Loewy. As such, he developed housing, industrial buildings, skyscrapers, resorts and more for clients spread across the globe.
