Aden Lungstrom

He/Him — Founder and Producer

Lungstrom is a Minnesotan raised, Minneapolis based director/filmmaker. While attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Aden Lungstrom wrote, directed, and produced Hair of the Dog in 2016.

After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cinema and Media Culture, Aden Lungstrom founded Pinto Productions LLC, started producing a Minnesotan state park and culture series called You Betcha Minnesota, and has continued writing scripts for his next film projects.

While his love for cinema lies in creature features, thrillers, and horror, what inspires Lungstrom most as a filmmaker is his passion about the ability to tell stories that have individual meaning to the viewer as well as to each individual involved in its creation. It is his goal to create a production company that spotlights the unique talents of each team member, and inspires future filmmakers to tell their own stories and create an impact.

When he is not behind a camera, Aden enjoys exploring trails, spending time with his cat Bilbo, running obstacle courses, and venturing through the metro in search of the best pizza in the Cities. He can usually be found chilling in his hammock chair with a Stephen King novel, or watching spooky movies with his partner.
