Aaron Bierman has been a storyteller
his whole life.
As a kid, Aaron shot Super 8 films, wrote and drew comic books and was a breakdancer in the streets and clubs of New York City during the early days of hip hop. As he grew older, Aaron didn’t see his creative pursuits as a way to make a living so with student loans to pay off, he pursued a career on Wall St.
While working as a trader at JP Morgan, Aaron’s distinctive market commentary and storytelling skills cultivated a loyal following of clients and were featured in various media including The Wall Street Journal & ABC News.
Aaron was working in finance for over a decade when he read a New York Times article about a playground basketball legend that would change his life forever. The story inspired him to make a film about the man’s life. Three years later, “Release: The Jack Ryan Story,” was sold to 20th Century Fox and Aaron was given a writing deal to develop additional projects with the studio. Aaron quit his corporate job to become a full-time filmmaker and was signed by the Gersh Agency soon after.
Since leaving Wall Street, Aaron has completed the Professional Screenwriting Program at U.C.L.A’s School of Film & Television, written over a dozen feature screenplays, directed award-winning short films and developed feature film projects with producers including Warner Brothers, Anonymous Content, Studio 8 and 20th Century Fox.
Aaron recently completed "Burning Bright," an animated noir thriller done in partnership with IMG Models, featuring some of the world’s top supermodels. Burning Bright has screened at prestigious film festivals around the world including the Oscar-qualifying Raindance Film Festival in London and has won 13 awards to date.

THE STORY
Nothing can be said about Ocean Park that hasn’t already been said better by the glow of the pier, soft and golden like a summer’s eve.
