Jim Zabilla | Edgy style, beautiful scenics and documentary flavor sum up Jim Zabilla's work. The Surge Sports Drink spots, directed by Steve Farr and Barry Poltermann, are part spots and part street. The Evian and US Trust spots, directed by Linzi Knight, are beautiful, stylized vignettes. Several of Jim's independent features and shorts have premiered at various film festivals; "Aswang" directed by Wrye Martin & Barry Polterman at Sundance and "The Usual" directed by Eric Tretbar at Berlin. His black & white short "Bubblepac" directed by Rick Dublin also premiered at Sundance. Jim won best cinematography at the NY Film and Video Festival for "As Virgins Falls" directed by Natalie Barandes.
Recently, Jim has completed production on the Toyota webisode series "If Looks Could Kill" & Sony's ARG game Resistance2 promos for L'Orange Studios.
Samples of that work can be seen on Jim's Viral Reel.
