Z Staehling is a writer, musician, filmmaker, published author, and all-around entertainer from Atlanta Georgia. Since his first article was published at the age of 18, Z has written voraciously for multiple entities, even publishing a debut novel (Full Past Noise, a postmodern metafiction that scrutinizes and skewers the American condition) in April of 2023. When not adventuring through strange places like Slab City or Canada, Z also records music under the moniker Farewell Tour. As Z leaves college, he will be hitchhiking across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa while honing his skills as a writer and filmmaker. He hopes to one day write and direct for mainstream audiences, crafting worlds and characters like never before and never again.
