In 2016, she shifted from producing to directing and teamed up with Zachary Cotler to found The Winter Film Company.[11] Zyzak's first film as a director, Maya Dardel, starring Lena Olin, Jordan Gavaris, Alexander Koch, Nathan Keyes, and Rosanna Arquette, was released in 2017.[16] Zyzak and filmmaking partner Zachary Cotler received Best Screenplay for Maya Dardel at the Prague Independent Film Festival[17][18] and Best Director for Maya Dardel at the 2017 Raindance Film Festival.[19] Zyzak has been honored by the national foundation Teraz Polska as an outstanding cultural figure of the Polish community abroad.[11] Her most recent film stars Addison Timlin as the young Hillary Clinton.[20][21][22][23]
