Born and raised in Amherst NY, Aaron Connor has always had a passion for production and storytelling. Through years of small short projects and technical theatre training, Aaron developed the skills needed to continue towards his greater goals of film making.
He is now a sophomore at Cleveland State University's School of Film and Media Arts, working towards a BFA in Screenwriting and Production.
The Lion and The Thorn was written, produced, and edited for an assignment at CSU. We were tasked with making a compelling narrative without using dialogue. Thanks to my amazing cast and crew, I believe we accomplished this goal.
A special thank you to my Screenwriting professor Tiffany Alexander, Production professor Kevin Vaughan, and my Post-Production professor John Ban for making this all possible.
