Zenie Lorenzo Low - ZLL Productions Limited

Submitted by Gladys Sarmiento on Sat, 2017-09-09 18:47

It was 1991 when Zenie thought about starting a business in New Zealand to produce shows featuring Filipino celebrities. She was about to go back home to Auckland with her husband and their two children after her husband’s two and half years posting in Nairobi, Kenya had come to an end. It was a sort of middle age crisis, whether to find employment or to start a business in a field that no-one in the Filipino community had done before.
