Director Biography - Marcus Aubin

I'm a recent graduate of DePaul University’s School of Cinematic Arts (SCA). Throughout my tenure at DePaul, I have had an opportunity to direct numerous narratives, music videos, and more which have played at festivals across the globe including Diversity in Cannes, Cleveland International, NFFTY, and DC Shorts.

In 2018, I was selected from all the directing students at SCA to direct a micro-budgeted feature film entitled “Sun King” under the guidance of our esteemed faculty. I am extremely proud and excited to share the film with the world as we plan our festival run in 2020.

I am currently based out of Chicago where I freelance as a director and editor while constantly creating new content.

Director Statement

It was an honor to tell Andrew's story through this documentary. I'm incredibly touched and humbled by the Weishar family's experiences and their openness to me and my film crew. Their courage and resilience is nothing short of inspiring. As a director, I aim to tell these stories, using film to evoke emotion that can lead to positive outcomes. Thank you Dan Weishar, and the entire Andrew Weishar Foundation for letting me in and making me feel at home.
