Indie-film Vespucci, Rocko Zevenbergen, is best known for his highly provocative cinematic debut I Need You Dead! (2020) and as the face of indie film company Bad Taste Video. Zevenbergen is also known for his work on Shudder's The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs (2018) and Lloyd Kaufman's Shakespeare's Sh*tstorm (2020). A rebel of independent cinema, Zevenbergen is a major advocate of experimenting with the medium and providing opportunities to young people who can't afford to pursue a traditional film degree.
Zevenbergen is the owner and operator of Bad Taste Video. Before becoming an official LLC, films were made under the name Shadow Turtle Inc. (despite not being a genuine incorporated entity.).
Zevenbergen created a YouTube channel called 'TheFunkeys' at the age of eight. Due to YouTube still being a relatively new platform, Zevenbergen was able to gain an audience quickly, which inspired him to pursue a career in filmmaking.
Zevenbergen was the assistant to Lloyd Kaufman for seven months from 2021-2022 and booked the theatrical release of Lloyd Kaufman's final film #ShakespearesShitstorm.
