As the founder of Purple Stuff Productions Inc., his career began in LA, editing trailers and making-of featurettes for the major studios - working with the likes of Oliver Stone on Alexander and John Cleese and Eric Idle of the famed Monty Python sketch comedy troop. Currently based in Chicago, George directs commercials and edits web series for The Onion, such as Sex House and The Onion’s Extremely Accurate History of the Internet. Zwierz also works with Bill Kurtis’ Production Company and Towers Productions, cutting TV Shows for The History Channel, Discovery, CNBC, amongst others.
