Successful producers work tirelessly when they take on a project. They need to keep the entire cast and crew working like a well-oiled machine. It\u2019s not easy, but all the blood, sweat, and tears put into a project is incredibly rewarding when the film, short, or series is nominated and wins awards. Bochen Zhang is one of those award winning producers and she welcomes all the challenges producers endure. A few of her successful projects include being one of the producers for Netflix\u2019s Ultimate BeastMaster, HBO\u2019s Wonderland, Disney Channel\u2019s <\/span>Virtual High<\/span><\/i> and AMC\u2019s <\/span>The Walking Dead: Red Machete<\/span><\/i>, which took home an Emmy Nomination earlier this year for Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama series. \u00a0It also received a WGA Nomination in the Short Form New Media Adapted category.

Bochen says, \u201cCasting talents and hiring crew, especially the head of department, are my favorite parts of producing. Researching and hiring a talented cast and crew is like finding treasure and it\u2019s so refreshing working with the creative minds, making things happen and making believe together.<\/i>\u201d On all sets, she keeps everyone focused and working hard to meet daily deadlines while staying on budget. It\u2019s a grueling job, but Bochen\u2019s leadership, patience, and composure keeps her on top of things, and she\u2019s also there to give all the support needed to each cast and crew member. Mr. Avi Youabian, <\/i>the director for The Walking Dead: Red Machete, commented about her ” Bochen was an integral part to our production team. She’s organized, a super hard worker, and has a great personality. \u00a0She was definitely in charge of making sure production ran smoothly. I look forward to working with her again and I’m thrilled for our Emmy nomination.”<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bochen got her start as a producer in China where she was born and raised. She worked at a marketing agency and mainly produced commercial content for international brands.
