He began writing in the 2nd grade and making his own short films in the 6th grade. After seeing “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” as a child, film and stories have fascinated him. He became obsessed with his craft from a young age and has since written and directed over 100 short films. Aaron has also spent the last decade crafting two original screenplays that will become his first two feature films.
TONY McVANEY
Composer
He is a producer/songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. Since moving there in 2016, the 29 year old musician has been able to expand his creative talents over a multitude of genres such as rock, pop and even working with some of country music’s biggest up and coming artists (Kane Brown, Parmalee, Levi Hummon) landing placements for TV (NBC/CMT’s Nashville) and film along the way. 'Where The Shadows Fall’ is McVaney’s debut venture into film scoring.
