Ari Gold has won over fifty prizes for his films, including best film at SXSW twice, the Student Oscar, Best Director at the American Cinematheque / ARPA, and many more. His films have screened at Sundance, Karlovy-Vary, Rio, and won prizes on every continent except Antarctica. (He is working on that.)
Ari’s most unusual distinctions include winning High Times Magazine’s "Stoner of the Year" award, and winning a Guinness World Record for commanding the largest air-drum ensemble on earth.
His romantic drama "The Song of Sway Lake" played 52 international film festivals, winning Best Feature at over a dozen of these, and features Rory Culkin, Robert Sheehan (“Umbrella Academy”), and Mary Beth Peil.
Ari’s air-drum cult comedy "Adventures of Power" ("One of the funniest films in recent years" - NY Magazine), is currently being re-released with weekly online charity watch parties with rock stars and comedians.
His student-Oscar-winning short "Helicopter”, about his mother’s death in the helicopter crash that killed rock music promoter Bill Graham, is being expanded into a feature film (now in post-production), and was a part of Alejandro Jodorowsky's film “Psychomagic, An Art that Heals."
Ari’s next fiction project, currently in development, is an action-adventure series about ecology, war, and the liberation of the human spirit.
