Timeline

1970

Born in Chicago Heights, Illinois in the late 1970s, James spent much of his youth growing up in the South Suburbs of Chicago. Obsessed with pop-culture in its many forms, he spent much of his time drawing, writing, and focusing on becoming a performer of some sort.

1987

In 1987 his original short story "The Little Champ" became an Illinois Young Author Award winner, and the seeds for a career as a writer were planted. Less than two years later, the budding filmmaker would also emerge.

" Filmed over three days in and around Crestline, Ohio, Hellraiser (1987) actress Ashley Laurence stars as the title character.

1989

Having grown up in front of a camera, with his childhood exploits captured by his parents on Super 8mm home movies, James shot his first short film "Art Attack" using the very same camera in early 1989.

"ZTV" made its debut in the summer of 1992 and became a cult hit in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. Practically overnight, the show was featured in the local news-media, and attracted musical guests such as Faith No More, Megadeth, Stone Temple Pilots, and more.

1994

In the spring of 1994, after 40 Episodes, "ZTV" came to an end with a 30 minute special featuring the band "White Zombie".

His published work would include interviews with artists such as Pantera, Dr. John, and Genitorturers, and led him to be a photographer at Lollapalooza '93. The mid 90s was a time of experimentation on the musical front. Zahn was soon fronting the rock band "Odlid!", performing guitar and vocals.
