zach green (they/he)

is a calgary-bred, toronto-based writer-director with an unquenchable thirst for genre-bending queer cinema. zach’s films resituate personal memories of queer becoming into heightened, fantastical contexts. they strive to connect spectators to their senses, conjuring cinematic style that is dreamlike, melodramatic, and anxiously attuned to his characters' bodies.

in 2023, zach became the first ever MFA in screenwriting and story design at toronto metropolitan university, where he wrote his first funded short, cancer szn, under the mentorship of oscar-nominated filmmaker atom egoyan. he also holds a BA in film studies from the university of calgary. his honours thesis explored modes of temporality in contemporary queer coming of age cinema.

they are currently in development on their first feature, bizarre love triangle, with support from the telefilm development program.
