Life and career

After a brief appearance in Passenger Pigeons, the debut feature film of Martha Stephens, she decided to write his first lead role for Pilgrim Song which shot in his home state of Kentucky and opened at the 2012 South By Southwest Film Festival. This would be the beginning of many of the movies he shot in Kentucky including Pleased to Meet Me and As It Is in Heaven. Zachary Treitz and Kate Lyn Sheil then wrote Men Go To Battle with him and David Maloney playing brothers during the Civil War. It won Best New Director at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
