Furthermore, Aaron's commitment to his native island has never been stronger. Last July, along with a number of graduate students from Aruba, Aaron established Origins Media Group (OMG). OMG's main purpose is to produce "Frame Goes U.S.A", a bi-monthly depiction of college-student life through the eyes of twenty-something Arubans studying in the United States. "Frame Goes U.S.A" forms part of "Frame," a one-hour show produced for Aruban television by Score TV, a production company based in The Netherlands. "Frame" is currently in its third season.

As a freelance producer for PROactive Media, Aaron has assisted in the production of several corporate and non-profit video projects. Aaron is currently in the planning stages of a documentary film for The Himalayan Youth Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing underprivileged children in Nepal and Bhutan with shelter and a fully funded high school education. The documentary is set to go into pre-production in early 2005.
