Ron Lipsky
Ron found his way into the world of film after several years
in the print and new media industries. Following his stint in
the military, Ron was the owner and editor in chief of two free
tourist magazines in Israel, IT and The Traveller. In 1999 he
started an internet company which provided free internet access
around Jerusalem, and then started the Israeli branch of Internet.com,
an internet media company from the US.
Despite his business endeavors, Ron’s focus often shifted to the artistic, from
producing music festivals and raves in the late 90’s and early 00’s, to writing
for various cultural magazines such as 42 degrees and Mixmag Europe.
In early 2000, Ron began his first film project, the documenting of the underground
techno scene in Israel. At the same time he co-wrote and acted in a short film
for his friend Daniel Meirom entitled FUCKING TROUBLE. Following this experience
Ron decided his place was behind the camera with Meirom. Their first project
as Dim Mak Films, THE PROPHECY, has become a backdrop to a creative relationship
which has led them to several projects together , creating challenging visual
content for various media Television Pilots, such as 2005’s NOWHERE ELSE, Music
Videos for MTV Europe and Israeli Music Television, and various film projects
such as THE PROPHECY, AMENDMENT 29, and KOSHER COUPLING. |
