About Me
Aaron graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Creative Writing, a time of frequent trips to Chicago’s Music Box Theatre where he was inspired by the films of Francis Ford Coppola, Werner Herzog, and David Lynch. He then studied screenwriting in the MFA program at the University of New Orleans. While in New Orleans he worked on the feature film 99 Homes directed by Ramin Bahrani and starring Andrew Garfield, Laura Dern, and Michael Shannon in a Golden Globe nominated performance.
While continuing to write original screenplays, recent positions managing a fly fishing camp and horseback riding ranch for the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado influenced him to discover new artistic paths with independent filmmaking. He also volunteered as an assistant director for Visionbox Studio, a nonprofit theatre company in Denver where he workshopped several scripts.
He currently works for The Empire Strips Back, an internationally touring burlesque parody of Star Wars. Seeking to take the next steps in his career, Aaron recently moved back to Los Angeles to focus on bringing his original stories and unique background to the stage and screen.
