Primetime Creative Arts Emmys: Photos We Love

Aaron W. Bennett is a writer and producer originally from Washington State. He previously owned a comedy club before moving to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting, acting, comedy, and improvisational comedy.

After dabbling in nearly every on-set department, he decided to utilize his prior construction knowledge and mechanical/electrical experience into the Grip and Electric department. Eventually, that new experience lead to investing and building up a 3-ton combo G&E truck, which he helps run with his amazing group of talented friends and film makers. The company is called Valhalla Grip LLC, and it keeps him lean and mean (mostly mean) while also funding his writing endeavors.

He has attained numerous writing contest placements through Cinequest, Screencraft, TMFF, The Titan Awards, and the Los Angeles Screenplay Competition, just to name a few-for his screenwriting and TV pilots. He has co-authored twelve projects in his first three-and-a-half years in Los Angeles. In 2020 he won Best Screenplay for his script "Good Counsel" at TMFF (December), which finished its festival run in 2021.

He first began his career in writing comedy as a writer/actor on a local public access TV show in the late '90s where he discovered and developed his sketch writing and comedic timing. As a talented mimic and impressionist, he used his facial and physical dexterity to entertain through improvisational comedy with his troupe (Manic Thunder Improv) and solo stand-up comedy. He also lived out his childhood dream and spent 2 years as a rock-jock comedy morning co-host on his favorite Rock Radio Station, 94.5 KATS, in Yakima, WA. He voiced and wrote/improvised several characters and truly had the time of his life.

He spends his non-writing time on set with his dear friends, making movies and loving this new life. The hours are terrible, the conditions are wretched, the work is hard, but those gummies are just so...SO good.

His most recent foray into Production is providing him with the variety of challenges that will keep him passionate and striving ever forward. There truly is no other career he'd rather have, even one that pays him to speak about himself in the third person.
