1980.
Inside the walls of a suburban hospital not far from the splashing of waves and imported sands of Huntington Beach, California. A doctor carefully draws a line in blood with a scalpel across the lower abdomen of his patient, a Cesarean section. Weighing in at 10.9 lbs, Aaron Jenkin enters the world quite unnaturally to experience all ten years of the best decade in American History.
Jams, Wayfarers, Members Only, Nintendo, Rock and Roll, Synth. Rick Astley.
Fast foward, twenty years into the future… A Bachelors of Arts in Film and Video with a focus in Directing from the Savannah College of Art and Design. A Minor in Sound Design for Film and Studio Recording. Aaron has lived in over twenty five places from Los Angeles to Charleston, SC. From Berlin to Tokyo. He has worked over thirty different jobs. He has over thirty five different shirts currently in rotation.
E.T.; Mouline Rouge; Laurence of Arabia; Romeo and Juliet; Man on Fire; Blood Sport; 28 Weeks Later. Jurassic Park, the movie that made him want to pursue the crazy ambition of directing.
Dinosaurs, movies, boats, fast cars, traveling, ninjas, and dinosaurs all over again. These are his favorite things.
Many people would call him an artist, but instead he calls himself a magician. Creating illusions and challenging audiences to dig back into their childhood experiences; believing again that anything is possible… this is what he lives for.
What will the future hold? He hopes it involves robots and artificial intelligence smarter then human intelligence. We will see…
