Appalshop

Aaron Asbury joined Appalshop in September of 2021 in the Appalachian Media Institute and is now the Appalshop Films Program Manager. Aaron graduated from the University of Pikeville in 2018 with dual majors in Film & Media Arts and Communication. With a decade of film and television production experience—previously acting as channel manager for Pike TV, a lead organizer of the University of Pikeville Film and Media Arts Festival, and working in local news—he’s excited to continue working to tell Appalachia’s stories.

At home, Aaron is a huge nerd, playing tabletop role-playing games and video games as much as possible. He’s also a certified foster parent with his lovely wife.
