Aaron Bartuska is a 27-year-old filmmaker and graduate of Drexel University's film program. He began making short horror films when he was in the sixth grade. Since then, he has made multiple short films and a low-budget 2017 hang-out movie, 'Epilogue,' funded by a grant received on behalf of Drexel University's STAR Scholars Program. His debut feature, 'For Roger,' won accolades at various horror film festivals. His next two features, 'These Are My Friends!' and 'The Yardley Boys,' are currently in post-production. While his dream has always been directing, Aaron also hopes to begin producing and funding the projects of his peers in the near future.
