producer / director / cinematographer
JL Aronson discovered the world of pigeon flying by looking up during afternoon walks in Williamsburg where he was editing his previous film, 'Danielson: a Family Movie.' That project was getting complicated and taking a long time so he decided to pick a seemingly simple topic (rooftop pigeon coops) and make a short film about it. That was 2002. 'Danielson: a Family Movie' was released to critical and popular acclaim in 2006. The hour-long 'Up on the Roof' was finally completed in 2008 and released in 2011. Aronson also directed 'Last Summer at Coney Island' (2010) which follows the ups and downs of development and redevelopment in the birthplace of modern-day amusements. His works have been shown in major museums, festivals, and arts institutions throughout the U.S. and Europe.
