Evan Aaronson

After attending UC Berkeley and graduating from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Aaronson worked as a writer/producer/director on television shows for The Learning Channel, the Travel Channel, The Fine Living Network, and the WB. Recently, he was a writer/producer/director on The Discovery Channel hit series, Monster Garage (2002). He's also completed two DVDs for Warner Brothers Records which are Used: Maybe Memories (2003) and Less Than Jake: The Making of 'Anthem' (2003)), two television pilots, music videos (Kottonmouth Kings), and two feature length films. The first feature was the breakthrough comic documentary, Nothing (1999), which Aaronson wrote, directed, and starred in. It not only earned him positive reviews from Roger Ebert and AOL Critics Choice, but it soon became an underground favorite. His next project was Baggage (2003), a 35mm. feature (family drama) starring M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple (1984) , My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Blade Runner (1982)), Mariette Hartley, and Vincent Schiavelli (Ghost (1990), Amadeus (1984), and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)). Aaronson then created the home video line for the publishing giant, Chicken Soup for the Soul which will be distributing films through Madacy Entertainment. Aaronson has been featured on the syndicated television show, TV.com (1998), as well as CNET.com and the Virgin Megastore website. Little known fact: His alter-ego, rapper/songwriter Wiggin, had a song on a record which included a track by Christina Aguilera.
