Zander is a former Pixar Technical Director, and the writer / director of the hit fiction podcast series CELERITAS which won at the Austin Film Festival and was nominated for a Webby. He mostly writes genre features filled with people who need as much therapy as he does, facing their worst fears in deeply researched, unforgiving worlds.
Now based in Austin, TX, he was regularly pulled out of grade school to hitchhike through developing countries, get hypothermia on Mount Everest, drink cow blood, and witness the occasional public cremation. From a young age he was drawn to genre fiction, which felt more familiar than the Americans around him. Now a father of two, his writing attempts to channel the fear and awe of his childhood, and the broken decision-making of adults who were raised in chaos.
