His passion for film developed late in his educational career as he began acting in a handful of student film projects with Fire Escape Films. In 2017, Zach was presented with the opportunity to direct and star in a web series written by Ariella Carmell, entitled Sex Ed. Upon completion of the 5 episode project, Zach elected to partner up with Ariella and Producer, Ben Levine, to adapt the project into a feature film following high praise and reception of the series.
