Today we’d like to introduce you to Aaron Shore.
Hi Aaron, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I first moved to Atlanta In august of 2014, to purse production work within the ATL film industry. For nearly a decade I had the opportunity to work on some big projects as PA all the way to Production Secretary; “Halt and Catch Fire”, “Doom Patrol”, “Bad Boys For Life”, “WandaVision”, and “The Haunting of Hill House”, to name a few.
In 2017, I decided to try something new yet familiar, improv comedy. I signed up for Level 1 at the Village Theater (the building is now housed by Relapse Theater, previously Limelight), after that I began to “Yes and” my way to where i find myself now — producing live comedy shows.
Monthly shows I produce include “Hodgepodge”, a showcase of 9 different improvisers blindly placed into teams via bucket spots. “Hot Pepper Improv”, in collaboration with comedian Damien Lee, brings a cast of 6 performers and a guest headliner standup. The show is hosted by Lee, he controls the pause bell, once the bell is rung, performers pause, which leads to you the audience voting on which improviser takes a bite of a Thai chili pepper, then, unpause the scene and continue where we left off! It’s diabolical.
Starting in 2026, Relapse Theater will be taking over the ole Suite L space of 349 Decatur St, you can find me there for all your comedic and artistic needs.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Nawww, I mean— is anything ever really smooth? Well, maybe a soufflé or a pebble you find under the water. I
I’m going off topic.
Has it been “a smooth road?” To quote Jeffrey ‘the Dude’ Lebowski, “Strikes and gutters, highs and lows”. As a film-worker I, like many others, took a financial hit post-SAG/WGA strikes of 2023. Today, I no longer work in film on a professional level, my time has been refocused to the pursuit of improv comedy, performance, personal care, a consistent day job that pays some bills, and the occasional indie filmmaking with my friends of Kick the Ladder (a weekly filmmaking game hosted by Isaac Dietz).
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Even though I perform improv comedy, my other passion is film editing. Been editing videos since I was a high schooler, never gave up on Final Cut Pro—til it became X, then I switched to Premiere / Davinci.
It took me years, but after I try, try, and tried again (sending my res) I finally got an in with the post house COMPANY 3. I worked for the dailies dept., offloading incoming footage from set, prepping for our dailies ops, shipping out LTO tapes to editors. I learned a lot during my 2022-2023 tenure, it has only improved my freelance side.
Speaking of which, cut to 2025, I had a big moment as a Post-Person. A feature film I had the pleasure to be an assistant editor on, “City Wide Fever” (directed by Josh Heaps), had its debut to a sold out audience at New York’s very own, DOWNTOWN FESTIVAL @ the ROXY CINEMA. Seeing my name in the credits as “assistant editor” was everything I needed in that moment, sitting in that red velvet covered movie house, just gobsmacked in the moment.
I’m looking to edit more in 2026.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I’m hoping for a golden age indie boom within film (& the performative arts) the likes of which haven’t been seen since the early 1970s.
I wanna see more projects being greenlit that are NOT $400 million budgets, hoping to break another billion at the box office, but mid-budget projects with captivating stories, and characters you can love or love to hate. Make more original movies! 2025’s “Sinners” set the bar, let’s continue to raise it.
