AGC chairman and CEO Stuart Ford said, “Zach’s well-merited rise up through the ranks at AGC since we launched the company has been a fantastic success story and is a testament to our culture of fast tracking the careers high-calibre, ambitious executives. Zach has evolved into a dynamic, savvy and immensely capable right hand to me in growing the film side of AGC’s business and I’m excited to keep further building our film slate and our talent relationships with him in the coming years.”

I’ve also been fortunate to collaborate with extraordinary filmmakers, producers, and crews, and I’m proud of the films we’ve made. I’m grateful for all of it, and excited for what’s next.”
