After attending UC Berkeley and graduating from New York University's
Tisch School of the Arts, Aaronson worked as a writer/producer/director
on television shows for The Learning Channel, the Travel Channel, The
Fine Living Network, and the WB. Recently, he was a
writer/producer/director on The Discovery Channel hit series, Monster Garage (2002).
He's also completed two DVDs for Warner Brothers Records which are
Used: Maybe Memories (2003) and Less Than Jake: The Making of 'Anthem' (2003)), two television pilots, music videos (Kottonmouth Kings),
and two feature length films. The first feature was the breakthrough
comic documentary, Nothing (1999), which Aaronson wrote, directed, and starred
in. It not only earned him positive reviews from Roger Ebert and AOL
Critics Choice, but it soon became an underground favorite. His next
project was Baggage (2003), a 35mm. feature (family drama) starring M. Emmet Walsh
(Blood Simple (1984) , My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Blade Runner (1982)), Mariette Hartley, and Vincent Schiavelli (Ghost (1990), Amadeus (1984),
and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)). Aaronson then created the home video line for the
publishing giant, Chicken Soup for the Soul which will be distributing
films through Madacy Entertainment. Aaronson has been featured on the
syndicated television show, TV.com (1998), as well as CNET.com and the Virgin
Megastore website. Little known fact: His alter-ego, rapper/songwriter
Wiggin, had a song on a record which included a track by
Christina Aguilera.
