About this project
I'm not a filmmaker, an actor, a comic, or writer. I just started friending Aaron Cohens on Facebook one day.
But, I've been fortunate. By friending Aaron Cohens, I've met 3 who do know how to make movies. They joined the project and now we have a film about Aaron Cohens starring Aaron Cohens that is also written, produced and filmed by Aaron Cohens.
Aaron Cohen raps, tunes cars, and serves in the United States Army. Not surprisingly he's a neurosurgeon but he's also a bull rider. And then there are the mothers. They are proud, loud, nurturing, overbearing, cute and not-so-cute.
We've filmed Aaron Cohens in NYC and could make a short film just about them but it's not the movie we want to make. There are Aaron Cohens in Omaha, Juneau, and Spartanburg. There are 323 Aaron Cohens in Israel. What do you think the Aaron Cohen in Fargo, North Dakota has in common with the Aaron Cohen in Haifa? You'd be surprised.
So join our tribe -- $5 will get you a download and a Tribe AC membership card -- and join us as we travel the globe answering the question, "Who is Aaron Cohen?" Check our website frequently for production updates and follow us on twitter.
Your mother will be so proud.

Project By
Connected as Aaron Cohen (783 friends)
When I was a child, I wanted to tell stories. First, I did that as an entrepreneur (Menupages, Anyclip). Now, I teach the History of Internet Media at NYU. 25 years ago, Woody Allen, Spalding Gray, and Ross McElwee sparked something inside of me. The Aaron Cohens is that thing.
