The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

Zach was just a little boy when he realized he loved filming and proceeded to make his first video at the age of seven. He used to film his two younger sisters, who didn’t quite like their director who was most of the time mad at them. At the age of fourteen he received his first computer and by 2008, he was already creating videos and uploading them on YouTube. He met VFX Bro while in university. Both lived in the same dormitory and their friendship kick-started into something so grand, that within weeks their videos had a million views! He started his own channel in order to provide free training for filming. But gradually he started making money off of it. He soon started using the money to organize seminars and pay for his studies. One of his most viewed YouTube video is ‘Jedi Kittens’ that was followed by two sequels ‘Jedi Kittens Strike Back’ and ‘Jedi Kittens with Force.’ Collectively the series of videos have millions of views. It was in 2013, that he joined Vine and began uploading unique and creative videos. He created vines almost daily and began making a huge income. He even appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and made numerous vines with the crew there. Crediting his talent, he was offered work in short movies such as The Last Word in 2013, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark in 2014 and in 2016, he voiced the Muzzled Wolf in the Disney movie Zootopia.
