Aaron's love for filmmaking began at a young age when The Boy Who Could Fly was filmed at his home in Vancouver, Canada. The film's director, Nick Castle, befriended the curious six year old and allowed him to be a part of the process, even inviting Aaron and his family to the studios where they had built an exact replica of his house and showed them how they made the people fly in the film. Fascinated by the process, Aaron soon began writing his own stories with the hope of one day becoming a film director himself. Aaron started his career in the film industry as an actor, landing roles on such shows as Davinci's Inquest and Fox's short lived John Doe, but quickly turned his focus to behind the camera, where his passion truly lied. An auto-didactic filmmaker inspired by directors like Stanley Kubrick, Ron Howard and Christopher Guest, Aaron has written and directed several short films such as Rousing Doug (Winner of best cast and best film at the Overnight Success Festival) Schlick Schlims (Official selection, Yorkton Film Festival) and Two theories, one stone., (Official selection, Cinequest Film Festival). Aaron has also written and directed several viral commercials for Nokia, multiple segments for the Canadian Tourism Commission and won an audience award at the 2009 Eddies Awards for his work as the writer/director of the commercial Rooster for Big Rock Brewery. As an active member of Vancouver's local film community, Aaron co-produces the Celluloid Social Club, a monthly screening event of independent films, and is a co-founder of the Hot Shots Shorts competition, which gives opportunities to emerging filmmakers. In his personal life, Aaron spends most of his time raising his daughter Zoe, to whom he is a dedicated full time single parent.- Aaron Joseph was born on 22 August 1984 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
