Hello, I am an LA-based Writer-Director-Actor, available for rehearsal + self-tape + scene analysis.
Training:
* NYU Tisch - MFA in Directing
* Ivana Chubbuck - Acting, LA
* Tom Noonan - Acting, NYC
* Lee Grant - Acting, NYC
As an NYU-trained Director, my short films and feature work have been shown at Tribeca, Palm Springs, Edinburgh, etc. I will help you spot the arc of the character as well as the scene, and give you directions so you can bring out the nuance in your reading.
Also as an actor, I starred in We Are Living Things, which premiered at Slamdance 2022 and 47th Deauville Film Festival in France. I know intimately how important it is to feel relaxed so you can bring your best game to an auction. The more relaxed you are, the more focused you can be. As a director and a reader, I can put you at ease instantly, and help to bring out all that’s unique about you.
Feel free to reach out via IG (@zaowangactor) or email (zaowangactor@gmail.com)
I prefer Venmo (@Zao-Wang) over PayPal. Thank you.
