Zachary Mortensen

Since tumbling off a turnip truck from Colorado into NYC's East Village in the early '90s, Zach has built a prolific creative life in the city he calls home. As an author, producer, and creative entrepreneur, his portfolio spans multiple media and genres.

Zach's sci-fi comic series, The Gatecrashers, is currently being adapted for television. He's also the creative force behind Space Hoppers, a middle-grade sci-fi universe developed with Kinetic Energy Entertainment that includes a novel in the works and a card game available now (go pick up a copy!).

As co-founder and CEO of Ghost Robot, a New York-based creative studio, Zach has produced critically acclaimed feature films including Creative Control, First Winter, and Against The Current starring Joseph Fiennes. His documentary credits include the award-winning Checkpoint Zoo, Cropsey, Hell House, Breath Control: History of the Human Beat Box and Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox.

When not creating worlds across multiple platforms, Zach's proudest productions remain his two daughters and, occasionally, a legendary dinner party.
