Aaron Rota grew up just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia. His mother, a Hollywood Award-winning underwater cinematographer, exposed Aaron to the film industry at an early age. He kicked off his professional career in acting and stunts by appearing in films (Fantastic Four), television shows (Supernatural) and commercials (Save on Foods). Growing up, Aaron was drawn to creating imaginary worlds and stories, which led him to make films of his own. Aaron directed a short film, “1968,” which was an official Selection at dozens of film festivals around the world (including San Francisco Black Film Festival, the Toronto Black Film Festival and the Regina International Film Festival). Aaron co-wrote & co-directed an award winning short film, “Wayne,” which was an official selection at many festivals in Canada and the United States (including Toronto International Short Film Festival and Golden State Film Festival). Aaron earned his BFA in Film Production at Ryerson University and started a production company with his brother titled "Rota Productions." He’s currently in Vancouver making independent films and finishing up his first feature-length script.
