The Pie Shoppe: A Short Film
We are stoked to announce the first installment in our video series entitled, “The Making of The Pie Shoppe.”
The accomplished filmmaker Zack Lazarus explores the infancy of The Pie Shoppe in historical Chinatown, Vancouver. For months, he has helped us to tell the story of our 300 square foot Pie Shoppe, shedding light on what went on behind the scenes in the making of the space. For this project, Zack turns the camera inward to distill the essence of what it meant to be a part of the making of “The Pie Shoppe” and of our family.
Zack has been a long-time film maker in Vancouver: traveling around British Columbia since the early 2000’s, shooting films on pristine digital images with gritty and textural stop motion, documentaries and short films. His work is not only easy on the eyes but captures the living, breathing spirit behind the handmade and the surrounding communities. We both feel lucky to work with him and look forward to future collaborations to come.
