Aaron Schmidt

Aaron Schmidt is a Vancouver based filmmaker who's goal is to create films that blend dream like imagery with the realism of the everyday world.

Aaron's love for film grew as a young adult renting movies from Rogers video on weekends and being transported to another world. His love for film was nurtured and identified when he decided to pursue a minor in Film Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. He loved talking about movies with his peers and using film to understand feelings and cultures he never would've been able to put a name to.

Director Statement
​Steve the Cat tells the story of stagnation and living a life that you didn't expect yourself to be trapped in, all told through the frustration of living with a cat, and a cat lover. The idea for this film came from hearing my mothers friend tell a story that she hated her husbands cat and would love if it ran away. That story stuck with me in its almost comedic cruelness.
