He is best known for his feature film work, directing Zero Day and co-writing The Place Beyond The Pines. Coccio"s first directorial effort was the short film 5:45am, released in 2000 by International Finance Corporation. His next project was Zero Day, a fictionalized account of two high-school teens who plan and then execute a violent attack on their peers inside their high school. The film was admittedly a study of the Columbine High School massacre, and the two characters bear much resemblance to the perpetrators Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
