Fundraiser for Zach Lipovsky's short film

You might recognize local director Zach Lipovsky's name from when he was one of 12 contestants (and the sole Canadian) to be selected for the 2007 reality TV show competition On The Lot.

On the show, Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett were searching for up-and-coming talent to award a development deal with DreamWorks.

Although Lipovsky didn't win (he made it to the top five), he did get a coveted spot on the show based on the film he made for the Crazy 8s (which announced its semi-finalists this week), which won that that local filmmaking competition.

He's now preparing to shoot a demo for a feature film and in order to do so, of course, he needs to raise some funds.

If you're interested in supporting Lipovsky's film, there's fundraiser being held at Cheesecake Etc. (2141 Granville Street) on Saturday, February 6. It'll run from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. and there's a $20 cover charge. Beats will be supplied by Fuckbricks DJs.

If you're on Facebook, there's a Facebook page for the party.
