Zwang then went on to produce Naked Obsession for Roger Corman and Concorde. A spate of rewrites and assignments followed for the likes of Sam Raimi/Rob Tapert, Paul Maslansky, George Zaloom and Charles Roven. Then there was that period where he Created/Wrote/Developed reality shows for Fremantle, Granada TV, GRB Ent., Dave Bell Assoc., Merv Griffin Ent. among others.
Through their company Retarded Genius Music, Zwang and his brilliant musical partner Rick Novak, have fallen into the musical niche of writing and providing finished recordings that are evocative of songs that productions can’t afford. So far they been hired to ape an eclectic group of songs -- Five For Fighting, Gimme Some Lovin’, Little Green Bag, Jimi Hendrix, Marlene Dietrich, a ‘60s Bond Theme song, Abba among many others. Their work can be heard regularly on HBO. They also supplied the songs for an out and out film musical “Emmanuelle In Wonderland.” The IFC series “Bullet In The Face” commissioned the team for two songs. In answer to fans’ requests, one of the songs is now selling all over the net.
