Aaron G. Hale’s second screenplay, JAVELINA RUN — a comedy western short, which also stars Hale as the fast-talking, moronic lead, Clarence — is busy making festival rounds and winning lots of awards.
Directed by Lisa Belcher, and featuring a hilarious ensemble cast — Avery Merrifield, Lorelei Linklater and Wally Welch, to name a few — and crew of over 125 people, JAVELINA RUN is Hale’s biggest penned project to date. Stay tuned for more updates on the film and its successes…

Two 100-Hour Film Race Projects in Top 15!
Last month, I was in two 100-Hour Film Race teams in Austin.
If you’re not familiar with the competition, it is an International Filmmaking Competition that challenges filmmakers of all levels to create an entire short film in a set period of time — in this case 100 hours.
I challenged myself and joined two teams and shot two films over one weekend… On top of that, I was sick and had a miserable cough. It was super tough to pull off, but we did it, and I found out a couple days ago that BOTH of the films are in the TOP 15 in the WORLD! Crazy!
The premier for both shorts will be in March in Georgia. Looking forward to seeing how we do. In the meantime, here is one of the film’s posters!
Hale Austin Film Project's Filmmaker of the Week
Last week, Aaron was Austin Film Project’s first Filmmaker of the Week of 2019!
Here is a little excerpt of the post:
“Aaron Hale looks like the kind of guy who would gladly help you move a couch, or change a tire. In fact, when you see him on screen, it’s hard not to immediately think "hey, I know that guy." It’s that affability - that off-the-cuff niceness - that might surprise you to learn that he’s also one of the hardest working actors and filmmakers in Austin. He’s living proof that with great work ethic combined with raw talent you can really do anything!”
