Director Biography - Aidan Young

For the past three years, I have been studying Film and TV at TAFE NSW. Simultaneously with starting TAFE, I threw myself into the realm of political activism and aim to use the medium of film to project causes of social justice.

Director Statement

I wanted "Someone Like You" to be a story about a cause I felt passionate about; Environmental justice. The story is inspired by my experiences with Rising Tide, a non-violent climate action group, as well as from concerns I've heard raised by those involved in the energy sector.
