Craig Zobel
Roger Craig Zobel is an American filmmaker and actor whose work includes music videos, film, and television. He has directed the films Compliance (2012), Z for Zachariah (2015), and The Hunt (2020). On TV he has directed episodes of The Leftovers, American Gods, and Westworld. In 2021, he directed the miniseries Mare of Easttown on HBO. He also helped to co-create the online animated series Homestar Runner with Mike and Matt Chapman, known collectively as The Brothers Chaps.
Zobel was born in New York and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, later studying film at the North Carolina School of the Arts alongside David Gordon Green and other future collaborators.
After graduation, Zobel worked on Green's first three films — George Washington (2000), All the Real Girls, (2003) and Undertow (2003), as either co-producer, production manager or second unit director. He also directed The Hunt (2020).
In 2021 he reupped his deal with HBO for an additional three years.
Homestar Runner is an animated internet cartoon. The series originated with The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest, a small self-published book co-created by Zobel and Mike Chapman. On a day off while Zobel and Chapman were working summer jobs surrounding the 1996 Summer Olympics, a visit to a bookstore prompted them to parody the state of children's books. A few years later, Mike and his brother Matt adapted the setting and characters into an animated Flash web series, which Zobel has occasionally contributed to.
Zobel has directed, written, and produced several films, including Great World of Sound and Compliance. In August 2019, the release of Zobel's horror thriller film The Hunt was postponed by distributor Universal in response to the 2019 El Paso shooting, with the studio cancelling the film's original September 27, 2019, date, and moving it to March 13, 2020.
