Director Biography - Aaron Williams

Originally from Mesa, Arizona I've since moved to Chicago, IL, and I am hell-bent on telling stories. I love that every person has a common gift of assigning meaning to characters that never were, and events that never happened. Creating worlds for people to exercise that gift is all I want to do.

Director Statement

I've thought about this question 1,000 times - "If you walked a mile in someone's shoes, would you arrive at the same destination?" - and finally with this short film, I have my answer.

I challenged myself to tell the story as visually as possible, and after a few missteps (see attached photo of the first mirror mask...) I'm proud of my most thought provoking film yet!

Enjoy!
