Zen Freese (he/him)
Zen Freese is a Filipino-American Director and Producer based in Portland Oregon. An entrepreneur at heart, he started his first corporation at the age of eighteen and discovered he had a knack for creative solutions. Skilled at supervising all departments, his experience covers every phase of production. Zen’s just as comfortable leading a skeleton crew on a mission to Iceland, as he is directing a studio spot with crazy CG integration. In the past ten years, Zen has directed, produced, and delivered hundreds of videos for major brands, but what he’s most proud of is the friendship and partnerships he’s made along the way.
