Two short films he co-created with Ren Williams were shortlisted for Helpmann Awards, Fonduo and Touch. He won a merit award for the 2020 Flinders University & STCSA Young Playwrights Award for his play We Need To Talk About Julia. He was Assistant Director to David Mealor on the Flying Penguin production of David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross. Aarod is a proud member of MEAA and RUMPUS Theatre.
