Getting a Close-Up of "Scraps" Director of Photography, Aaron Leong

He has also done costumes, make-up, and lighting for theatre and has even stage-managed productions while attending SF State.
With a strong background on and around the stage, Aaron slowly transitioned to work in front of the camera; acting in films independent features, and commercials. His resume also includes voice over work.
From there he eventually moved behind the camera, starting a video production company in 2002.

He is currently represented by Cast Images Talent Agency in Sacramento, and SF Casting and Nancy Hayes Casting, both in San Francisco.
