Notes

Zack Schwartz is an audio-only interview conducted by Giannalberto Bendazzi around the year 2000, in Israel, where he was teaching animation.

To read about the beginnings of UPA with his painting partner, Dave Hilberman, read Dave’s listing. For the departure of Dave and Zack in the mid 1940’s there are several versions of their split with Steve Bosustow. The most common version seems to be that the business side of the young studio wanted Bosustow out, but when they attempted to fire him, the artist’s backed Bosustow, so with their support behind him, he offered to buy out Dave and Zack. They accepted and with those funds formed their own studio in NYC, Tempo Productions.

Zack Schwartz is part of two presently unreleased scenes.
