“VISIONEERS” filmmaker JARED DRAKE releases web film “Z”

Monday, January 30th, 2012

In an effort to keep you updated on the latest happenings of SAGIndie’s favorite filmmakers, we wanted to pass along some fun news about the latest project from director JARED DRAKE.

“Z,” which is written and directed by Jared and produced by Big Signature and Section 5 (Justine Bateman), stars Rob Buckley (One Tree Hill) as a slacker 20-something froyo worker taken hostage by a mysterious female bodyguard played be Alyson Weaver.

Created specifically to be released on the web, the short action-comedy is very funny, contains stellar production value, and is a lot of fun. For more info, visit the official site at www.ZisHere.com.
