Julian Felix Aaronson is an American Horror director focused on translating his deep anxiety and insecurities about sexuality, gender, and everyday life to screen. Aaronson found his passion for directing and writing after playing George in Our Town. He began to take an interest in the process that came with creating a production. With guidance from his theater teacher, Aaronson fell in love with writing and began writing every day until he landed on a script he felt he could make. His early work showcased his introspective ideas of confidence, what it means to cry, and quarantine, inspiring his signature credit in his films: "a Julian Felix Aaronson journal entry". With journal entries like, 'Be F*cking Weird' and 'Ça Va?' Aaronson was accepted into his first film festivals, including Key West Film Festival. With the connections he made at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Insitute, he created his fourth film, 'The External-Internal Monologue of an Interdependent Insomniac,' which explores the critical topic of sexuality through an insomniac's opinion of different scents. This film garnered selections and awards from SIFF, San Francisco International Film Festival, and Young Arts, and eventually his acceptance at NYU, Tisch. His freshman year studying film at NYU, he wrote his first Horror screenplay, 'Envi', which was selected as a finalist for Final Draft's Big Break Screenwriting contest. After this, he began to push farther into the horror genre, directing 'Charlie's Showroom,' a story about a casting director with a disturbing ritual, and 'Bruno's Day Out' where a dog goes on a walk with a creepy dog walker. Aaronson continues to create experimental works when he can, with titles such as 'there are bodies around me, doing things.' As of 2025, Aaronson heads into pre-production on 'Envi', shooting in the summer of 2025.
