Biografi
Aaron Zimmerman grew up in Southern California as an only child. After his parents' divorce, he was raised primarily by his father who worked in the entertainment industry as a Hollywood photo and stunt double for such notable performers as Jeff Goldblum, Jimmy Smits, and Keanu Reeves. This, along with the fact that he grew up with virtually thousands of DVDs in my home library, inevitably led him to become a study of film and television of all periods and genres - from black-and-white classics by the geniuses of Buster Keaton and Orson Welles to the contemporary achievements of Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve. Because of this, at a very young age, the world of the screen soon grew to be more than just a hobby or a pastime for him.
Bearing in mind that his future could land him anywhere, he made the conscious effort to familiarize himself with as many aspects of the entertainment world as possible during his academic years; this included writing and directing short films (which have been recipients of honors recognized by CINE, Paramount Studios, IMDB, and the TCL Chinese Theater), seeking an internship as an assistant publicist at Carol Marshall Public Relations (where he helped manage celebrities such as Jimmy Smits and Peter Jackson), and freelancing as an editor for various clients, with projects ranging from interviews with Sharon Stone to social media content for Lucasfilm.
In retrospect, his hope is that he will be able to give back to the medium that has always fascinated him, has always been reliable for escapism, and has undoubtedly played a massive role in shaping who he is today. As a Magna Cum Laude graduate from California State University, Northridge, with a BA in Cinema & Television Arts and an academic minor in Marketing, Aaron currently works as the director of content production and editor at the global esports organization, TSM, as well as the influencer marketing manager at the software development company, Blitz - all while continuing to dedicate the rest of his time to freelance editing and writing, producing, and directing independent films.
