Editing and Filmmaking

Legacy Screening Series

This montage of Asian American films and actors is an estimate to the legacy of Asian Americans in American Hollywood. Through Strong Asian Lead, we showcase the celebrate the trailblazers who came before us. This video was edited by Mas Moriya.

This project above is a sizzle cut trailer for a television series I’ve written about the Japanese American experience during and after WWII. A screenplay pilot and series deck has been written and can be requested through my manager, James Smith.(james@aaronkoganmanagement.com)

Filmmaking Archive

These are short films that I’ve directed between 2014-2017.

Most were shot and edited by me as well.

Film Archive

These films showcase not only my storytelling chops but also the range of technique I possess as a film director and filmmaker—a variety of techniques, from corporate interviews and music videos to experimental videos.

Shot with a mixture of high-end DSLR cameras and low-fi camcorders, these projects challenge me in different aspects of filmmaking. Sometimes they force me to take risks outside my comfort zone, to illustrate what`s within myself that needs exploration and discovery; sometimes they give me space to explore composition through cinematic perspectives or approaches that make you rethink the way you view something normally.

NOTE: These videos however are in an archive as they do not reflect my current brand of stories that I’d like to tell, which is Asian American Historical Drama and Hollywood Inequality Documentaries.
