Aaron graduated the Humber Theatre Performance program with Honors, and the Acting Achievement Award. After graduating he presented two plays, "Ambiguous" (winner of Trey Anthony's award for artistic merit) and "Charming Monsters" (which garnered two literary reviews) at the Toronto Fringe Festival. Aaron went on to directed Tennessee Williams' play, "And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens," as a part of The Playwright Project. He also directed Dave Carley's play, "INTO" at the Berkeley Street Theatre. Aaron created the web-series, "Friendly Fires" based on his experiences as a non-union Actor, and it was written as the prequel for his short film, "Respect." Aaron made three short films as part of the Script to Screen program at Centennial college. "Power Lines" and "Love Wins" toured Canada, UK, and the US. His screenplay "Respect" was chosen as the final class project, and Aaron was elected to direct the fully funded film. "Respect" premiered at the Hamilton Film Festival in 2021, and later that year Aaron was nominated for excellence in directing at the Montreal Independent Film Festival. Aaron co-created the award-winning "Surprise in the Night" for Shimaro Entertainment, the atmospheric short film "The First Step" in association with the Toronto Arts Council, and he virtually directed "Social Witches" for The Boys Club. Aaron recently produced the comedic web-series "Business Inc." and the thrilling feature film "Baby Fever."
