Aeris Danet

Fifteen year old American actress Aeris Danet is from the southwest suburbs of Chicago. She studies acting for TV/Film primarily with her coach and mentor Heidi Marshall for The Heidi Marshall Studio, NYC.

Aeris’s continued education and adept script memorization skills allow her to explore range and take risks. Theatre lends another outlet to do what she loves and showcase her vocal abilities. She is a member of SAG-AFTRA, a high school freshman, an honors/AP student and first time writer/director of the teen horror short "Nebulous".  Aeris Danet is represented exclusively by theatrical talent agent Brooke Tonneman founder of Big Mouth Talent Inc.

Aeris's directorial and writing debut NEBULOUS is an official selection of the Chicago Horror Film Festival (CHFF) making Aeris Danet the youngest filmmaker to premiere at the prestigious film festival. CHFF is now considered to be one of, if not the largest festivals in the world for the horror genre, selecting only 222 horror films from around the globe out of a few thousand submissions. The official selection of NEBULOUS has catapulted 15 year old Aeris Danet onto the list of youngest indie filmmakers in the industry for a horror short.

NEBULOUS is the parody-ish, horror trope filled short of how filmmaking turns deadly for a group of unsuspecting high school teens. Her debut captures the essence of classic 80's horror films and sprinkles in a taste of 90's teen coming of age drama all while introducing a Chicago based young teenage cast. NEBULOUS features a killer soundtrack from start to finish from world famous DJ/producer Bad Boy Bill, LBC frontman Kaustubh "Stubhy" Pandav / Shock Stars and Bottle of Justus a band that originated on the campus of Illinois State University back to the late 90s.

Aeris's influences of Stephen King, Wes Craven and teen coming of age movies are predominant in the short film NEBULOUS. Steve Desmond who co-wrote the 2023 Horror/Mystery "Knock at the Cabin" had this to say - "I'm honestly very impressed, especially given Aeris's age and this being her first film. Aeris has a lot of innate talent in shot composition, editing, pacing, and rhythm."
