Director Zach Merck Joins Finch

 

Zach Merck is now represented by Finch for the Australian and New Zealand productions. Merck is a natural fit for Finch, as a prolific director of both ads and branded entertainment. Based in LA, Merck has shot extensively throughout Australia.

 

Merck's accessible storytelling for blue chip clients including Cadillac, Dominos, Coca-Cola, Toohey's, Chevrolet and Volkswagen has been recognised by the Director's Guild of America, Cannes Lions and the One Show Entertainment Awards.

 

A statement on the effectiveness of his craft, Merck has directed three seasons of Racing Under Green for VW and the Discovery Channel.

 

Merck's other credits include the opening titles for Saturday Night Live, The Art of Walking for National Geographic Channel and the music video for the 20th anniversary re-release of Pantera's classic album Vulgar, which features real fans getting punched in the face in slow motion.

 

Finch MD, Rob Galluzzo can't wait for Merck's splash into the commercial market down under: "Zach is one of the foremost directors of branded entertainment in the US and Australasian markets. His big push into the traditional ad world is a natural progression."
