Zack Hemsey

Zack Hemsey (born May 30, 1983) is an American composer, songwriter, and record producer, whose work has been largely popularized through its inclusion in films and film trailers. A notable example is the film trailer for Inception, which included his composed piece "Mind Heist." It's a common misconception that the piece used for this film trailer was composed by Hans Zimmer, who instead composed the score for the film. "Mind Heist" was also used as introductory music for the video game Madden NFL 12, and is occasionally used by the television series America's Got Talent. Hemsey's music has been featured in film trailers for The Town, Lincoln, 2 Guns, and others. Hemsey's song "Vengeance" was prominently featured in the film The Equalizer, as well as in trailers for the second season of the HBO program Game of Thrones and the 21st Century Fox miniseries 24: Live Another Day; the latter aired during Fox Sports' U.S. TV broadcast of Super Bowl XLVIII. In 2020, Hemsey made his directorial debut, in which he shot, produced, and edited a feature length documentary titled BIRTH. The film explores the psychology of labor and the birth experience, through the lens of an unmedicated homebirth. The film was released online worldwide on the iTunes Store and Vimeo OnDemand.
