Biography

Also a multi-award-winning playwright, Braxton's solo play, "Did You Do Your Homework?" ran for nine months at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, earning a NAACP Image Award and an International Gala Star. "BROKEN," a play about grief and resilience, won the Max K. Lerner Award, while Belafonte Unauthorized examines the legacy of Harry Belafonte.

A multifaceted storyteller, Aaron Braxton has continued captivating audiences with his thought-provoking narratives. As the writer and star of the award-winning animated short, "A Seed of Regret," and the live-action short, "The Skin I'm In," his work has earned multiple Film Festival Awards, solidifying his reputation as a powerful voice in cinema. Now, with the directorial debut of BROKEN—a gripping short film adaptation of his award-winning play and feature screenplay—Braxton delivers yet another emotionally charged narrative that delves deep into the human experience.

From the mean streets of Roxbury, MA, to the sun-drenched vineyards of Santa Rosa, and finally, the red carpets of Hollywood, armed with an AA from SRJC, a B.A. (and a Division I Track and Field Letter) from SDSU, as well as a M.A. from USC, I gracefully optimize the ending of Shakespeare’s statement, “...but better than a master of one.”
