About me
Hey there, my name is Zack Watson. I'm an actor/producer/editor/writer... and a couple other hats that I continuously wear professionally for over a 5 year span. I continuously create indie film projects and sketch comedy for myself and various fellow directors & actors with a vision. My own creations have been featured on National Lampoon's, Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), Off-Broadway productions at the People's Improv Theater NYC, and other local NYC & Atlanta businesses. I have produced both short-films and virtual shows for online consumption that receive 1,000+ views per video.I freelance in a variety of ways (AP, Editor, Director, PA) for productions in both the unscripted and scripted world. For 2 years I produced, edited and directed TV sizzles for Tough Cookie Productions as the Development Manager in NYC. There we worked on development deals with Netflix, Amazon, CNN, HGTV, and others. I also have 3+ years of news experience working as a journalist/reporter for CNN, 11Alive NBC Atlanta, and WRBL CBS Columbus, Ga.
I'm a freelancer by trade, and I try to be as much of a Swiss Army knife as humanly possible. Please let me know how I can help with your project and I'm happy to work alongside you in the most healthy way possible to get an idea or story achieved.
