03 — The Director

Eclectic.
Visceral.
Unmistakably Filipino.

Zyro Peralta Radoc — known on set as Direk Zy or simply ZPR — is a Filipino director, storyteller, builder, and artist whose work spans theatrical film, primetime television, and the uncharted ground in between.

He entered the industry in 2013 as a 2nd Assistant Director and spent the next decade mastering every layer of production — from commanding action units on FPJ's Ang Probinsyano to orchestrating full primetime worlds on TV5. He is, by nature and by practice, eclectic — equally at home in action, drama, and everything the spectrum holds.

He came up under two of the industry's giants — spending two years as 2nd Assistant Director under the late Direk Wenn V. Deramas, the Star Cinema architect of Vice Ganda's Praybeyt Benjamin trilogy and Beauty and the Bestie, and later training under the late Direk Toto Natividad, the "Master Director" and founding Directors Guild of the Philippines member whose career stretched from editing Apocalypse Now and Platoon to FPJ's Ang Probinsyano. Those two directors — and the years inside ABS-CBN — are the reason Direk Zy is an eclectic director today: comfortable moving between comedy, drama, and action, because he learned from the masters of each.

Direk Zyro does not chase a single genre or a signature look. What he chases is truth — the kind that makes an audience hold their breath without knowing why.
