S06E05: Zach Lipovsky: Ripple Effect Master
Zach Lipovsky has early memories of a childhood spent on sets
surrounded by the buzz of TVs and master controls, thanks to
his mother's career in television. But it was a transformative
experience at the tender age of nine when Jurassic
Park left an indelible mark on him. The youthful
actor-turned-filmmaker invested his early earnings into the
digital revolution, teaching himself visual effects and
collaborating with a community of budding filmmakers.
In this chat, Zach speaks candidly about the highs and lows of
an artist's life, emphasizing the importance of finding joy in
the journey and not just the destination. We touch on the
delicate act of juggling personal creative projects with
commissioned work, offering insight into how these endeavours
can fuel each other. The power of collaboration comes to the
forefront as well, with anecdotes about successful
partnerships that illustrate the potential when combining
forces in the film industry. Additionally, we discuss the
crucial aspects of pitching and preparation for filmmakers,
including a riveting account of how a dramatic pitch meeting
landed Zach a job directing the upcoming Final
Destination film.
