Experienced Filmmaking Professional Looking to Share Knowledge

Zachary M.

The art of filmmaking takes discipline, practice, and above all a burning passion and love for the art. I hope to share my tips and wealth of knowledge with the next generation of budding filmmakers, writers, and musicians trying to make their way.

A little about me: I have a Bachelor's degree in Media Communications with a focus in filmmaking, a minor in English Creative Writing, both of which I graduated with honors. Later, I earned my Master's degree in Film Production and have a little over a decade's worth of experience in video production and filmmaking.

I aim to provide my students with the fundamentals of filmmaking so they are able to work on a Marvel set as I did, as well as show them the even more creative side of the art so they are able to make their own films as I am currently doing. A healthy blend of film analysis, technical studies, and a hands-on approach to how the industry works will prepare you to begin your journey.

10+ years in the film and video industry. I have made countless short films, a low-budget feature film, and many other video projects independently. Several years were spent working for studios like Marvel, Disney, Warner Bros., Netflix, and many others. I have training and experience in every facet of the production process from development and screenwriting, through directing and production, all the way to the editing process and distribution.

20+ years experience performing live music. Many years training my voice and piano abilities for live performance audio recording, as well as music theory and composition in every genre from classical music to jazz and modern rock.

If you'd like to learn more about my approach to these arts or would like to connect feel free to reach out. I would love to share what I have learned over the years to help you get started!
