I want to fight, write and make movies using both. Actually, now that I think about it, I am using both to make movies. By fight don’t mean running around and beating people up, it’s just my way of referring to my martial art--Wing Chun (The original style of Bruce Lee). If I could I would practice eight hours a day. By write I mean novels, plays and screenplays. The medium doesn’t matter as much as the fact that I want to tell a good story. (though I really like movies...) And though I know it sounds boring that is all I really do nowadays: work, school, wing chun, write and making films. Incidentally, if you care, as of 1 December 2000 I am getting ready to enter my last semester at UNC. I was a history and religion double major, but recently dropped the religion in favor of a creative writing minor.

Aaron on the film:

TYWB was my first experience in film--and acting--and I have to say I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I learned many incredible things in this film I couldn't begin to list them. The main thing I got out of the film was the desire to make movies myself. I'm directing a TV show now that I wrote and plan on doing several films in the near future. I also am acting in two other movies now due to contacts I made on this set. None of this would have happened if TYWB hadn't been a top-notch operation. I have no doubt you will see most of the cast and crew in major films in the not-too-distant future.
