Josh Zeman, a producing partner at Ghost Robot production company, is a constant resource for the New York Film Academy giving many of our students internships over the years. Recently, one of our students was lucky enough to shadow Josh at Ghost Robot and she wrote us, “I’ve never been happier in my life “. Josh also kindly sits on numerous film panels here at NYFA.

He has recently been named inaugural fellow for Sundance Institute’s creative producing initiative for the project “Forest Grove,” the first narrative feature by Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation).

His film “Choking Man,” won the Gotham Award in the “Best Film Not Playing Near a Theater Near You,” category and was pronounced, “…delightful by the New York Times.
