Zeke's formative years were spent in the charming town of Lodi, California, famous for its pioneering role in the creation of the wine cooler, a beverage that would later be acknowledged as a questionable life choice. Growing up amidst a community prone to making unwise decisions, Zeke, undeterred by the potential for failure, embarked on an ambitious filmmaking journey at the tender age of nine.
From that moment on, his birthday celebrations transformed into mini productions, with Zeke taking on the roles of writer, director, and producer. He would craft a script, enlist the help of his friends as cast members, and convince his mother to rent a VHS camcorder from the local video store. Despite the absence of his mother's guidance as director of photography, Zeke's dedication to his craft has remained unwavering.
Fast-forward to 2014, when Zeke launched Fun Size Horror, a collaborative project that brought together a collective of filmmakers to create a series of spine-tingling horror shorts, perfectly timed for Halloween. This innovative venture would eventually give rise to the co-founding of the production company and website FunSizeHorror.com, alongside fellow co-founders and producers Mali Elfman and Michael May.
