Zach Read

Senior Producer

Zach creates compelling stories through video and photo that highlight and further the mission of UF. He enjoys the process of taking complex subject matter and translating it into a visual medium in a way that is easily understandable. He believes everyone’s perspective is worthy of being captured. Prior to this role, Zach spent a handful of years freelancing as a cinematographer, capturing a lot of documentaries and promotional content. It’s there that he honed his skill and his style and discovered his interest in stories that center on our shared human experience. As a Gainesville native and UF grad, Zach has a lot of pride in this state and its people. Outside of work, if he’s not filming for his own enjoyment, you’ll most likely find him enjoying a vegan meal with his family.
