an update whoa!
this is a story about some crazy pictures in my profile. they all have a story <3 enjoy.....
From December to May These are the people i spent every minute of my life with. We toured with Papa Roach, Hed Pe, Kittie, Walls of Jericho and played with tons of bands in every city. Althought i manage ESTK from an office and hire them tour managers i still miss being on the road and chasing down our dreams. Lindsey is no longer with the band but Im glad the kids kept going. we had our ups and downs but we got through it. I love those kids.
This is from the first nite of getting drunk in my house. i lived w/ harper michelle and chelsea (who moved out and valerie moved in when i was touring). i had a lot of fun w/ those people when i lived there. i got really drunk this nite and ya i don't know what i was doing lol
When I was touring w/ Mourning Maxwell back in 05, the transplants recruited me to film for their DVD, which by the way never got released cuz the band broke up. But at the arizona date their crew let me bring my whole filming crew to film their set. They headlined warped tour that day and Tim was nice enough to take a picture with us.
As many of you know, i directed the last two kottonmouth kings dvds. Ten Years Deep and The Joint is on Fire. In between did a few music videos here and there. This is a pic of me, brad and taxman on the set of the daddy x mind bender shoot. this photo is also in the kmk music video friends.
filming the kottonmouth kings live dvd, The Joint is on fire I had Alex and Kyle from Mourning Maxwell with me. Earlier that day we went to meet w/ metal blade records about signing the band. that nite i used them as helping hands filming the show. As it turned out, Tech 9 was there hanging out and blake brought him downstairs into the vip room. Charis, jumped in the picture with us and ya it was a good time. tech 9.....who would have thought lol he was really cool.
right before the papa roach tour, we welcomed greg into the band with an ESTK thanks giving. He literally had two weeks to learn all the songs. this pic was taken by my dad right before we would embark on touring together non stop for five months.
even though i hadn't put out a movie in almost a year, last dec, the new times held me as Arizona's top filmmaker in az. since i was 12 i have made 15 feature films and released 8 of them theatrically in arizona at the imfamous tempe cinemas! we now have a distribution deal with brain damage films and we actually make a few bucks. i miss making movies and i will return to it one day when im ready.
When nancy stevens was the operations director at the edge she would book me and my video crew to film a corporate edgefest dvd every year to bring sponsourers to the next years shows. this is a photo janet took of me shooting the show in 04. It was also the last day of the kottonmouth king's tour that i was on that summer and it was a great way to end the summer.
This is the last set of crew photos that we took. This was my live music video taping crew. we don't really do live videos anymore cuz i've been focusing on managing bands, but i love these guys. we'd get drunk as fuck then film. it ruled.
So i got home from the kmk tour and my buddy hondo calls me up and he's like, my band won the bon jovi contest!! i need you to film. so i filmed. It was my second time filming glendale arena. its so amazing there. the depth of field rules.
So back in the day there was this on running joke about me having lots of wives. It got to the craziest point of people making T shirts that said Zach's Wife on it. at my movie premieres people would wear these. guys and girls. it was kinda wierd, but hey those were the days. When we did ballistic fest a bunch of my friends mocked the good ol' days and make zach's ex wives shirts. good times.
This is Kristin Busk and I. She is like a little sister. This chick tried out for one of my movies back in the day and i casted her in three of them. She's a spunky kid and even though we don't see each other much anymore cuz she's a big time sorority chick, i still send my love. If i ever make another movie again im using this kid. Kristin Busk rules.
Kim Milbrandt. I don't really know what to say here. we've had our ups and downs over the years and this girl knows me well......probably more than any girl out there. Don't believe everything u hear about me and this girls past. we've been through a lot of shit and done a lot of cool things and a lot of shitty things. she's the closest thing to a bff as u can say. She's also a fucking lunatic so watch out!!! iloveukim
i edit this man's dvd. DOMINATION THE VIDEO. Mini Truckin' / drinkin. need i say more. he's on my top 8. Go buy a dvd cuz they rule.
The Fourth of July this year was fun. I went to like 5 bbq's, at tons of food, drank tons of alcohol and ended up playing wii at kendra, jamie and amanda's house. i killed amanda having never played before. i rule. later that nite i skipped fireworks to see transformers.
This girl is the bomb. she has a fetish for asians. i met her through kendra. jaaaaam!
