Biography
San Diego native Aaron David Roberts has been working in the film industry since his pre-teen years as a PA/Grip on his father's award winning commercial production sets. After High School, Aaron started an ambitious multi-media company, Blue Vision Entertainment, focusing on discovering and promoting unknown and independent filmmakers, musicians, artists and photographers.
He quickly learned many of his peers who found the company with him did not have the same drive and persistence as he did, and Blue Vision Entertainment focused on the one dimension of the company Aaron was running: film.
Aaron created the world of 'The Cast Members', his first Television concept, in spring of 2014 and after a successful local crowdfunding campaign, in the spring of 2016, the first Cast Members TV Pilot was filmed for $3500 and released the following year in June to over 500,000 total views and an audience of nearly 3,500 die-hard fans.
Aaron used this momentum to propel his next independent pilot project, Chartered, where in 2018 he worked with award winning and veteran TV actors like Sloane Morgan Siegel (The Goldbergs, Gortimer Gibbons), Jonathan Joss (Parks & Rec, King of the Hill) and Mark Christopher Lawrence (Chuck, Seinfeld, The Pursuit of Happyness) with a $100,000 budget.
Chartered was a 2019 semi-finalist for Comedy at the premiere independent TV festival in the US, the Catalyst Content Festival, located in Duluth Minnesota. It was during that week that Aaron set up the next venture of his career, launching a full-fledged media company and getting his first feature film made.
Rising Tides Creative was born in April of 2020 and in a pandemic influenced year, still managed to work with incredible, local award winning restaurant clients, produce a TV Concept for Bigtime Decent in Las Vegas, start production on a documentary project with NIVA and Taylor Morden (The Last Blockbuster) about the dire and unstable nature of the most famous independent music venues while dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing to work with big hospitality brands like Toast Tab and Yelp.
Rising Tides Creative was also approved as one of the first feature film projects for the St. Louis County Production Rebate programs in Minnesota for the feature film version of The Cast Members, a $1.8 Million film being distributed and financed by Buffalo 8 and BondIt Media Capital. It is currently in pre-production and slated to film in August 2022.
