I had a MiniDV camcorder when I was about ten, which obviously positioned me at the top of the "home video Star Wars fights" short list in my neighborhood.

​

In 7th and 8th grade my best friend, Aaron LaBarre and I had a YouTube channel where we posted over 30 of our mostly improvised, iMovie edited shorts for our friends and family to see. Some were VERY embarrassing.

​

Regardless, I seemed to muster up enough confidence to write an 85 page screenplay about a scientist who makes a breakthrough discovery in quantum physics by 9th grade which brought me to seek the council of Forge Theatre Co. Artistic Director and Playwright - Michael Towers. He, among many other skills, taught me to perform.

​

Thus began my career as an actor, a trajectory that has brought me through high school and out of college with a BFA.

​

After a less than immediately gratifying stint in New York with an agent, I decided to marry my two passions together.

​

My desire to create compelling original work and my desire to perform in it.

​

So I moved to Boston and started honing technical skills so that I can be in control of my own narrative.

​

In that time I started my own production company Zack & Aaron, where we are able to follow through on production of everything and anything we want... A dream come true. We produced over 60 videos in our first year, and we are still going strong.

​

I am now an actor, filmmaker, video editor, director, writer, producer, marketer, songwriter, graphic designer, board game creator, and the list goes on as long as there are ideas to manifest.

​

Unfortunately, I'll never see a Star Wars fight the same way again. From how the light is hitting the actors faces, to the choice to cut to a wide shot, the music underneath or the objectives behind the action.

​

Hopefully with these sacrifices I'll be positioned at the top of the "home video Star Wars fights" short list in neighborhoods all across the world.
