Art Directors Guild, Local #800

A native of New Orleans, Frank Zito knew at an early age his future was in art. With a degree in visual arts, he returned home and went to work creating Mardi Gras balls, trade shows and special events. His work was extraordinary, one creation for the Coronation Ball was sent on tour to Disneyworld. The chance to work on a film opened a new world to Frank and he hasn’t looked back. He has done virtually every job in the Art Department and directors such as Gil Cates, Jr. quickly recognized his ability as a Production designer. Zito is hands on, he can conceive, illustrate and construct in a cost and time effective manner. When asked why production design, Frank states, “it is what I love and what I trained myself to do my entire life.  An artist derives pleasure by people viewing his work, and with film I have the whole world watching!”  Based in New Orleans, Frank is available for work worldwide.
