Biography

Oklahoma's Julian Felix Aaronson is an American writer/director focused on translating his deep anxiety and insecurities about sexuality, gender, and everyday life to the screen. His first film, “The External-Internal Monologue of an Interdependent Insomniac,” explored the critical topic of sexuality through an insomniac's opinion of different scents. This film garnered selections and awards from SIFF, SFIFF, and YoungArts, and eventually his acceptance into NYU, Tisch. During 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. Aaronson continues to create experimental works such as “There are Bodies Around Me, Doing Things,” which was chosen as an official selection of the NYU Sight and Sound film festival. As of 2026, Aaronson heads into post-production on “Envi,” his coming of age disturbing short film.
