Zach Bangma

Zach started making short films in his parent's basement at the age of 15 and was quickly bitten by the bug. After taking on the lighting and set design for his final two years of high school he often substituted films for papers in class. In college he was accepted into the theater department and offered a job working for the theater company and a mentor-ship with the designer learning design and practical building techniques. After living on a commune in Switzerland for a month he returned to switch schools and join the film department for a year then was drawn to Australia where he studied mostly in cinematography and art direction. Having learned lenses and lighting techniques Zach moved to Los Angeles to start a career in the art dept.
