From June 1997 to August 1999 (2 years 3 months) Film, Television, and Commercial Director @ RSA Films From RSA Films - "Zach Merck is a filmmaker whose work depicts unique, authentic stories and interesting people who take viewers to the far corners of the planet. Whether scripted, documentary or his forte of real people/hidden camera, he draws the best performances out of talent to experience the story through their eyes. Merck’s appreciation of talent stems in part from beginning his career in Hollywood with director Tony Scott, who on his sets for Enemy of the State and Spy Game, taught him about the process of working with actors and how to move the camera. From there Merck built his early career as a producer.Merck segued into directing full time on music videos and then he spent over a decade filming hundreds of commercials, documentaries and branded films. Merck’s work has been honored by the Cannes Lions, CLIOS and One Show, and earned him a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. His award-winning feature documentaries include For the Love of Music: The Story of Nashville (ABC), Racing Under Green (Discovery), Six Beers of Separation (Fox Australia), The Art of Walking (Nat Geo) and Punk Like Me (SXSW Audience Award 2006)." West HollywoodPartner, EP, and Filmmaker @ MAKE I have directed successful commercial campaigns, branded content, and television shows for clients such as Chevy, NFL, Travelocity, Liberty Mutual, GMC Trucks, Febreze, Ram Trucks, Barista Bros Coffee, The Royal Australian Air Force, Cadillac, Hahn Super Dry, Humana, Huggies, Chevy Spark, Dominos Pizza, Volkswagen, Tooheys Extra Dry Beer, Southwest Airlines, Ford, Chevy Silverado, Audi, Microsoft, Doritos, Hewlett Packard, and many more.I love to direct music videos under representation of Jason Valen.

From March 2006 to February 2012 (6 years) Los AngelesDirector of Production @ Hypnotic An amazing company, run by David Bartis, Doug Liman, Liz Hamburg, and Daniel Gossels. Here I executive produced the Terry Tate Office Linebacker campaign, the first Chrysler Million Dollar Film Festival, the pilot of the OC, and a bunch of other cool projects with my wingman Pete Soldinger...including a wild week with Bobcat Goldthwait, and one strange conversation with Woody Allen in Cannes.Before Hypnotic, we were called Nibblebox, and we helped film majors in college create their own ideas, and presented their films online when Quicktimes took 20 minutes to load. A lot of great people came out of those times - Jared Stern the screenwriter, Rachel Bilson the actress from the OC, and Justin Bartha...the guy they are trying to find in the Hangover who also was Nick Cave's sidekick in the National Treasure films. Good stuff.
