Zack Snyder (born March 1, 1966 in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. He is well known for his stylized action movies in which he displays his love for details, crisp cinematography, slow motion sequences and dark and gloomy color filters, and for creating almost shot-for-shot adaptations of comic books such as 300 (2007) and Watchmen (2009).
He made his directorial debut with 2004's Dawn of the Dead. He's also made Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010), Sucker Punch (2011), and Army of the Dead (2021).
Alongside his wife Deborah Snyder, he's the founder and manager of the production company The Stone Quarry.
