Zachary Oberzan was a founding member of the theater collective Nature Theater of Oklahoma, based in New York City. With Nature Theater, he collaborated and performed in numerous productions, including Poetics: a ballet brut, the Obie-winning No Dice, and the one-man show Rambo Solo, helping propel the company to international fame. His feature film Flooding with Love for The Kid (an adaptation of the novel First Blood, which introduced the world to the character of Rambo) is a one-man cinematic war shot and edited in its entirety by Zachary (portraying all 26 roles) in his 220 square foot apartment in Manhattan, made for $96. Created in 2007 and never intended for public viewing, it was discovered by FIlm Anthology Archives in NYC, received a lengthy run, and continues to screen internationally in cinemas, theaters, art institutes and film festivals, and is celebrated in the most high-minded of film publications. Your brother. Remember? premiered in May 2010 at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, and has to date been performed in over fifty cities world wide. A stand-alone film version of Your brother. Remember? had its cinematic premiere in New York City in 2012, followed by a run and highly enthusiastic praise. Tell Me Love Is Real, a theater/film/musical hybrid, premiered in October 2013 at deSingel Antwerp, toured internationally and also became a stand-alone film, premiering in Copenhagen in 2016. He recently completed his latest feature film, The Great Pretender, after an extensive live theatrical tour throughout Europe. In addition, he has performed with The Wooster Group and Richard Foreman, and released two albums of original songs, most recently Athletes of Romance.

Your Brother. Remember? (2012)

For reviews from critics intelligent and well-versed enough to understand this work, please look up: Calum Marsh's 3.5 out of 4 stars review for Slant Magazine, The New York Time's Critic Pick review, the Filmmaker's review, the Indiewire review, the SECOND Indiewire review, the Village Voice review, the New York Magazine review, the Criticwire review, the Tiny Mixed Tape review, the Tiny Mixed Tape 2012 Best Films review, or any other review from the dozens of countries in Europe and Asia (and Australia) where this has played, as opposed to this grossly inaccurate completely amateurish Danish "review." For starters, about 70% is re-enactment. I don't know what film this guy was watching. Sincerely, Z. Oberzan.
