Zed Bloom

Zed the Zany. Wait wait wait, IDEA!!!

His story

Zed Bloom arrived at the Studio with a backpack covered in sticky notes, an instant camera, and about forty ideas before breakfast. Nobody hired him for one job. He just kept pitching short films, Instagram experiments, and wild little scenes until the team realized he was the engine that kept them from ever getting stuck.

His brain hops fast, from a llama in sunglasses to a rocket launch to a banana phone, and somehow the dots connect. He tries everything once, loves a weird first draft, and believes a good idea should make the whole room laugh before it makes sense.

He is a little wacky, never boring. Give him a stuck project and five minutes, and he will hand you back twenty ways forward. At least three of them will be gold.

His work

On E2, Zed is the Studio's Chief Idea Instigator. He pitches the short films, dreams up the Instagram posts, and pushes every project one step weirder and one step better. His notebook is bursting, his sneakers never match, and his paint splattered overalls have seen every set in town.

His rule is simple: what if we just try it? Start the thing, film the thing, post the thing. Mike and Sally help him land the plane. Zed makes sure it takes off.
