Bio:
Born in California to Guatemalan parents, Anthony Zuniga moved to Athens at the age of 2 and loves living in The Classic City.

Graduating from Brevard College in 2020 with degrees in Music and Theatre, Anthony has found a path to pursue acting, singing, and writing locally and in Atlanta. His recent collaborations with UGA’s Masters in Film Arts have given him invaluable experience in assistant directing two films, The Reenactment and Whistle in the Dark and starring in two others: Tune in Next Time and Nocturne. As an actor and singer, he’s proud to say he’s played shows at The Foundry, The Classic Center, and the many famous theatres in town like Town & Gown and The Morton Theatre. He’s looking forward to performing in New York City’s renowned off-broadway cabaret, 54 Below in March of 2025.

As the event coordinator for the inaugural Athens Film Fest, he believes that the way forward is through community. His philosophy of abandoning our fight for the singular seat at “the table” and building a table for Athens where we can all eat has been at the forefront of his work, and he is excited to uplift the local artists’ voices to continue adding to the beautiful artistic tapestry of Athens, GA.
