Zack Snyder

Zack Snyder in Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Making his feature film directorial debut, ZACK SNYDER (Director) was featured in British Communication Arts magazine as one of the most talented commercial directors in the country. Best known for his cinematic widescreen shooting style, Snyder attributes his distinctive style in part to his early artistic training in London, where he studied painting at the Heatherlies School. Later, he refined his artistic sensibilities at the world famous Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he developed the bold cinematic style of filmmaking that he is known for today. Whether shooting an epic car spot for Land Rover in Tunisia, or an emotionally moving character piece with Robert De Niro in the streets of New York City, Snyder’s stylistic approach combines powerful storytelling with a compelling sense of place.

From the Skeleton Coast of Namibia to the desolation of the Arctic tundra, Snyder frequently accomplishes his big screen look with a small, dedicated crew. Working as both director and cinematographer, Snyder has traveled to the rain forests of Costa Rica for client Compuware and to Alaska to shoot spots for Audi and Jeep. He has traveled to China for client Budweiser, as well as Chile and Iceland in search of the perfect location for his cinematic spots.

Well known for his sports work, Snyder has created dynamic portraits of sports icons such as Michael Jordan, tennis star Martina Navratilova and quarterback Troy Aikman for clients Nike and Reebok and recently completed a spot for Titleist featuring golfers David Duval, Dan Marino and David Robinson, among others.

Snyder’s work has garnered numerous awards including two Clios. He received a Gold Lion Award at Cannes for his Jeep “Frisbee” spot. His wickedly funny and irreverent spot “Russian Generals,” filmed on location in England, attracted the attention of the London advertising community, which presented him with an award for his impressive body of work. Most recently, Snyder completed the 2003 Subaru campaign featuring four-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
