Zack Hosseini, a masterful storyteller, weaves narratives that transport listeners to a realm where memories blur and reality is distorted. Born to a first-generation Iranian father and a "Sweet Tea Southern" mother, Zack's upbringing in Georgia, a state where contradictions seamlessly coexist, has had a profound impact on his unique narrative voice. He is drawn to the myths people live by, the roles they perform, and the quiet, inevitable ways those constructs begin to crack, revealing the complexities beneath the surface.
As a graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, Zack has honed his craft through his short films, which have been showcased at esteemed festivals such as Palm Springs ShortFest, FilmQuest, San Diego Comic-Con, and Chelsea Film Festival. His films, including A Cotton Moon, featuring Eric Roberts, and Dion & Denver, have garnered widespread recognition and acclaim.
Influenced by the poetic dread of Japanese Horror, the psychological decay of American New Wave Cinema, and the moral pressure-cooker of The Twilight Zone, Zack's work often draws characters into rich, atmospheric worlds where beliefs are tested and the truth is rarely straightforward. His unique blend of atmospheric tension, psychological depth, and moral complexity has captivated audiences and critics alike.
In addition to his work as a filmmaker, Zack is a highly sought-after editor, known for his ability to blend narrative instinct with commercial precision. He has cut story-first campaigns for prominent brands such as Nike, Google, American Express, and AT&T.
As a member of the team at Chaos Theory, Zack is currently developing a slate of elevated genre features, which promise to further cement his reputation as a masterful storyteller and a visionary filmmaker.
