Who is Zachary Oberzan?

Zachary Oberzan is a filmmaker, theater director, actor, and singer/songwriter known for his experimental work involving video.

An original member of the New York City-based theater collective Nature Theater of Oklahoma, he collaborated in the creation and performance of the plays No Dice, Poetics: a ballet brut, and the one-man show Rambo Solo. In 2007 he created a "one-man cinematic war," Flooding with Love for The Kid, a feature film that adapted David Morrell's 1972 novel First Blood, in which Oberzan, as a metaphor for Rambo's own singular struggle, shot, designed, edited, and played all 26 characters by himself in his 220-square-foot Manhattan studio apartment.

In 2010, Oberzan's solo theater/film piece Your brother. Remember? premiered at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels. An examination of family deterioration and redemption, it employs the life of Belgian action star Jean-Claude Van Damme as a vehicle to tell its bittersweet story. In April 2012 Your brother. Remember? was released as a stand-alone film to critical acclaim.
