A brief word on
Who is Jonny Zeller
Bragging about myself is difficult to do, so below is a bio written by my friend and publicist, Amanda Samaan.
A lot of people can come up with great ideas. Jonny Zeller can do that with the best of them, but he also has the resources to actually bring just about any crazy idea to life. Toss in his curated network of best in class actors/musicians/influencers, and it’s hard not to want to jump on board.
Jonny is a film, television, and commercial director specializing in high-end action, sci-fi, and world building for brands and Entertainment properties. His work is defined by a sense of scale and often a slight twist on reality, but it always remains grounded in recognizable characters and emotional stakes.
He approaches every project as both a filmmaker and a creative strategist. Rather than thinking only about a single deliverable, he considers the larger world around it and how audiences might encounter that story across film, television, social, interactive, out-of-home, live experiences, and whatever comes next. He calls this approach Storyverse Architecture: designing a connected narrative ecosystem in which every platform has its own purpose, creative language, and role within the larger world.
Whether he is directing a global automotive campaign, bringing a video-game universe into live action, or developing original film and television IP, the objective is the same: create something cinematic enough to command attention, human enough to matter, and expansive enough to keep growing.
When he’s not on the other side of the world crafting campaigns, you can probably find him hitting jumps on his snowboard, scuba diving (hopefully with no sharks around), or hunting down the best food in LA. If you ask nicely, he’ll probably share some of his secret spots…
