Aaron Nee is a talented and highly motivated multi-disciplinary artist, who is currently writing and attached to direct (along with his brother Adam Nee), Sony Pictures’ HE-MAN: MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE film, and the duo are also currently penning Warner Brothers’ MINECRAFT.
He was first introduced to me as a talented motion graphics designer, and I had the fortune and pleasure of witnessing him shift his focus back to an earlier passion (that I wasn’t even aware about originally), and turn his wildest dreams of becoming a big-budget director into reality through hard work and strategic series of forward-focused choices that he discusses and analyses in this episode.
"There was a short that I was looking at doing, and then there was BAND OF ROBBERS which we ultimately decided to get behind. [...] It seemed the most realistic for being able to need as few people's permission as possible to make it."
His (latest) breakout film is BAND OF ROBBERS (2015). Here’s the trailer:
