Mulligan’s extensive commercial client list includes Bravo TV, Kraft, Sony Ericsson, and American Express. Recently, he shot a first-of-it’s-kind live in-cinema ad for Daffy’s at the Ziegfeld theater in New York. The commercial-turned-live-event caused a huge buzz in the advertising world and was featured in the New York Times and Boards Magazine. Mulligan has shot music videos for musical artists such as Passion Pit, Mute Math, Flying Lotus, and Woodhands (his video for “I Wasn’t Made For Fighting” was an official selection of Slamdance 2009 and The 49th Annual Krakow Film Festival).
Mulligan has just concluded principal photography on the narrative feature I’m Not Me (imnotmethemovie.com). The film will mark the cinematographer's debut as a writer and director.

“Obselidia... Visually, the picture is a thing of great beauty. Zak Mulligan's lensing with the Red camera system is shimmeringly luminous as well as vigorously agile and was a deserved recipient of the Sundance cinematography award.”
“Zak Mulligan’s cinematography is the strongest formal element in the movie. Bell reveals both a nicely understated compositional eye and an ability to locate soft, surreal touches on the margins.”
"Obselidia... a gorgeous work in which every frame has the appearance of having been hand-crafted in an art studio"
“When I first talked to Zak, I told him I needed someone who could find the picture that was in my head - well, he didn't just find it again and again, he often found an even better one!”
