Aidan Leary

Aidan Leary is a director, writer, 1st AD, and producer currently based in Los Angeles, CA. He is best known for directing and co-writing the upcoming feature film Monkey's Magic Merry-Go-Round. With a passion for genre storytelling, he often operates within the realms of horror, thriller, sci-fi, or comedy. His work frequently exists within a “rubber reality,” in that the world is one that can resemble our own, but with elements that push the boundaries of normality. Taking a psychoanalytic approach to filmmaking, his films examine the repressed fears, desires, or trauma of a character embodied in physical and metaphorical ways. Receiving a BFA in Media Arts Production at Emerson College, he is currently continuing his pursuits as a filmmaker.
