About
robZtv:
Since February 2003, Robert
Zverina has filmed tens of thousands of unscripted digital video
shorts using only an ever-present pocket camera. Of these, the best
have been selected and compiled into a still-in-progress magnum opus

of the world. Inspired by a childlike sense of wonder as well as
bemused curiosity about human behavior, robZtv is an
unprecedented film series sure to be valued for its aesthetic and
documentary qualities. Unpretentious and curiously addictive, this
unique cinematic experience might just change the way you see the world.
