Aaron Schock

Producer/Director

Aaron holds an advanced degree from Columbia University and worked for many years in community development in the South Bronx. A couple of years ago he applied his skill in documentary photography towards his first film, Song of Roosevelt Ave., a study of Hispanic immigrants who make their living in the informal economy in Queens, NY. Like many noble first film efforts, it played around the international film festival circuit. Circo is his second film.
