Aaron Mento is a writer, director, and producer of extreme comedy/horror genre
entertainment. After getting his Master’s Degree in Film Production from Loyola Marymount University, Aaron Mento wrote and directed the eerie sci-fi comedy “Standards of Living,” the first feature film to be shot entirely on an iPad. He also shot and edited the film which received rave reviews from Rue Morgue Magazine and Ain’t It Cool News. Next, Aaron Mento co-created and directed “Choose Their Kill,” a choose-your-own-adventure slasher comedy for Eli Roth and Crypt TV. His second ambitious feature film, “Ugly Sweater Party,” was an outrageously campy horror comedy starring Felissa Rose and Sean Whalen that has become a cult hit on Blu Ray. Aaron’s newest action/horror/comedy “16 Bits” is currently in post-production after being 100% crowdfunded by an enthusiastic online fanbase. Through his production company, Ocular Migraine Productions, Aaron Mento continues to push the envelope with daringly original genre fusions.
