Aaron Platt -Director of Photography

Aaron Platt was born and raised in the back-wood cuts of Northern California. Obsessed with low budget horror films and early skateboarding videos in high school, Aaron snagged an outdated video camera from his friend’s closet and began documenting his youth.  A continued interest in multimedia led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in multimedia at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

There he made several short films and experimentations including a short student film that was accepted into the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and received an award for “Most Promising Filmmaker” from the 2004 Ann Arbor Festival.  Since then, Aaron has focused most of his energy in cinematography and shot over fifteen music videos, eight feature films, and a few commercials.

His recent accomplishments are a best cinematography award from Sacramento International Film Festival and a 2007 Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best Cinematography.  Aaron and Andrew teamed up for “April Showers” and Aaron is looking forward to working with Andrew again on "Dancing Carl."
