Aaron is an independent film producer and director based in LA. He recently graduated from the directing MFA program at UCLA where he wrote and directed four films including “Bat Boy”, an Alfred P. Sloan funded film, and “The Beautiful Colors of Jeremy Sicile-Kira” that was nominated for a student academy award, broadcast on PBS POV, and played in notable festivals including San Diego International Film Festival, Palm Springs ShortFest, KCET Fine Cut and San Fransisco Doc Fest. Prior to UCLA, he was the lead producer on the Emmy-award winning PBS show, Articulate with Jim Cotter and helped guide the show from a fledging local show to a nationally distributed series. He also created the full service production company, A Type Productions, LLC that makes films for start-ups, non-profits, government organizations, and education and art institutions around the world. He has an intimate understanding of the filmmaking process by working on many projects in a variety of rolls from producing big budget commercials to crewing on HBO’s Euphoria. 

Aaron went to college for neuroscience but quickly discovered he was better suited to study the world with a camera rather than from a lab bench. Nonetheless, he has maintained a scientific curiosity and pursuit of excellence that informs all of his work. The stories that excite him most typically deal with science and psychology, whether these are stories about the environment, disability or overcoming difference. Underneath all of his stories are themes of hope and resilience. 

When he's not working, Aaron loves to cook and be outdoors, especially on his bike or surfboard.
