Aria Emory

Being pushed towards the arts by his Mother his whole life, Aria played Piano for over 8 years and won several awards. He’s also a skilled artist and writer. Acting was always a passion of his that he was too shy to attempt. After graduating from Marquette University, Aria moved to Los Angeles from Chicago, Illinois.

Aria met Chris von Hoffmann on one of his first projects out here, a feature film called Behaving Badly. Aria worked his way up to becoming an Associate Producer for an independent production company. Due to mutual difference within the company, he eventually left. Unsure of where to go next, Aria accidentally walked into Playhouse West, an acting school in North Hollywood, and decided to stay and audit a class. He was drawn to the school instantly and joined the following day. There he met Joseph Atash and together they co-wrote and starred in a play entitled ‘Made in America.’ It ran for 10 weeks at Playhouse West and continued its run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival where it was chosen as the Pick of the Fringe Winner.

Throughout this time, Aria and Chris von Hoffmann remained close friends and decided to create their own project together. They co-wrote Fuel Junkie and set up a team that created a powerful film in which Aria starred in and Chris directed. They are currently writing their next project together, a feature film set in a post apocalyptic world.
