Biography
Zack Hohenstein is a writer/filmmaker from St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia in 2022 with dual bachelor’s degrees in Film Production and Journalism with an emphasis in Strategic Communication. His capstone film “The Dead” was submitted to multiple festivals and even screened at a few you’ve never heard of, a feat he aims to repeat with his new horror-comedy “Grayson’s Yard.”
Zack worked as a content editing coordinator at Wolters Kluwer and taught the first film class ever offered at Lutheran High School North in St. Louis. He loves horror films and literature, focusing the majority of his own writing within the genre, much to his mother's disappointment. He takes himself very seriously and kindly asks that no one make eye contact with him.
