Aaron Goffman's Darcine's Day


Aaron Goffman: Property Master, and “oh yeah, what I really want to do is direct.


Aaron was born in Hollywood and has been a life-long Valley Boy. As a teenager he snuck into Universal Studios with his moped and has been pursuing work in the film business ever since. He has have been a member of the Directors Guild, the Art Directors Guild, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Local 44, and the Property Masters Guild.

Throughout his career, Aaron has worked as a P.A., assistant director, production coordinator and manager, line producer, art department P.A., assistant art director, commercial art director, property master, and now he’s trying on a new hat as writer/director for his first short film, DARCINE’S DAY.


“I think all of us in the film business feel a need to tell stories and during the 2023 strikes, with nothing else to do, I decided to create a story of my own. At first the idea was to create a sample reel for an actor friend, but it evolved into a 16-page script. I shared the script with film-biz friends, who were also twiddling their thumbs. A few friends liked the script and volunteered to help produce a film.”

The result is DARCINE’S DAY, a short film about an L.A. woman who struggles to find a job, a home, and a meal, only to go unseen for the help she really needs. DARCINE’S DAY had its world premiere at the Oscar-Qualifying LA SHORTS International Film Festival and has gone on to screen at more than fifty other festivals worldwide. It has won several festival awards for best writing, best director, best short film, and best actress.


“I love working as a property master and plan to do so for many more years. But the high-feeling I got from writing and directing my own project was intoxicating - and I want more of that too.”
