An Introduction
A Passion to Tell Engaging Stories
My name is Aaron Matthew Kaiser and I am a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and cinematic vlogger.
Ever since I first picked up a camera in high school, I have been finding ways to tell visual stories that challenge expectations and introduce viewers to characters that are compelling, yet flawed.
As time has progressed, so have my skills. I have learned how to build and lead a team as a producer, taking a project from conception to completion; undertaken the world-building task of screenwriting, breathing life to new realms; advanced the creative vision as a director, harmonizing page and performance to create a lasting presentation; and studied the art of cinematography, crafting expert shots and molding light to my will.
All of this can be summarized under the moniker of filmmaker. My familiarity with the entirety of the production process has given me insights that help me bring my passion to tell engaging stories to life.
Whether I am creating a music video, collaborating on a short film, directing a feature film, spearheading a graphic novel, developing a television series, or shooting an episode of my cinematic life vlog, I care deeply about the quality of content that I create.
I invite you to join me on this creative adventure. What engaging stories shall we share together?
