How It StartedMy parents named me Zachary which means "to be remembered". My mom thought it would be a good name for a famous hockey player. For some reason though, I never became a hockey player.
My story starts with a joke. When I was 14 years old, I was sitting on a trampoline with a couple friends. One friend said, "It would be funny if we filmed ourselves fighting on the trampoline", and then I said, "It would be even funnier if we came up with a story about why we were fighting on a trampoline". Thus the web series "Trampoline Wars" was born. It's still on Youtube. I hope you never find it.... It was that moment though that sparked my journey into becoming a filmmaker and since then three things have been consistent: my love of storytelling, the focus on "why", and making really depressing movies. Kidding! |

In my 20's I dedicated my life to running the CineCentral Filmmakers Society - a non-profit organization run by filmmakers for filmmakers to connect, learn, and collaborate.
I started the society in 2013 at the age of 20, and I continued to run it for nine years. And then I turned 30. |
How It's GoingNowadays I'm focused on creating videos for brands and artists, writing and shooting stuff in my spare time, and trying to put a little more peace in the world.
I enjoy working with businesses and telling their stories. It's really satisfying to be able to help businesses thrive by sharing their message and reaching their audience. I have quite a few years until I turn 40. In those years, if I can start making a living with writing, help more companies and artists, and make the world a more peaceful place I will consider it a good decade of life. |
