Introducing...

Hi all, Zee here. I'm an animation professional expanding my career into live action. I like to introduce myself by saying, "I am more handsome than ten movie stars." Then my wife always adds, "Yeah, Golem, Frankenstein's Monster, The Toxic Avenger, Jabba The Hutt, Slimer, Basket Case, Sloth from The Goonies, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kruger, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

Welcome, Zee! It’s great to have you here! Your sense of humor is awesome, and it sounds like you're on an exciting journey from animation to live action. Best of luck to you in 2025!

You're welcome, Zee Risek. What project(s) are you working on?

Cyrus Sales

Welcome Zee Risek to stage 32! I'm an audio engineer, co-owner of an animation company. It's always a pleasure getting connected to fellow animators. What type/style of animation do you do? Wishing you the best of luck in your new venture into live action.

Nick Phillips

Your wife's knowledge of genre icons is impressive Zee Risek! What type of live action work are you looking to expand into?

Hi Nick, nice to meet you. I currently have completed horror script. Two episodes of a workplace sitcom written. I am halfway through a feature comedy., should be finished the script in a few weeks. I also have an animated series I am pitching. And several projects that I have pitch decks for, but not completed scripts yet, including a cozy murder mystery series, .a heist movie, a romantic comedy, a comedy horror, and several less developed projects. With the exception of one or two of those, they are all ideas my wife and I worked on together. She has a PHD in Neuroscience and used to be a College Professor, while I make silly cartoons. Somehow that combination of her smarts and my goofiness works, both in life and in writing screenplays. Cheers.

Hi Cyrus. It's always great to meet another animation professional. I'm a 2D animator. I've done just about everything there is to do in animation, character design, storyboards, writer, art director, animatic editor, and director/show runner. I also have an animation company, even though I am currently the only employee.
