Photo auction raises funds for Zero Ceiling

Local photographers will showcase their works for a fundraising auction for the Zero Ceiling Society of Canada on Friday, Nov. 30 at the FireRock Lounge at the Westin Resort as part of the Whistler Creek Productions “Coming Out” Party.

Photographers showcased include Colin Adiar, Dano Pendygrasse, Mark Gallup, Eric Berger, Geoff Andruik and Blake Jorgenson.

The photographers are part of the new media collective called Whistler Creek Productions.

The local production company, headed by Stuart Andrews, Shin Campos and Glen Kaleka, represents directors, cinematographers and still photographers. The company hopes to expand to actors and location mangers in the near future.

Large canvas prints of the photographers’ works will be auctioned off, starting at $80, while DJ Mat the Alien and Hawtz Skillz will regulate the DJ booth.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Zero Ceiling, a locally run non-profit which introduces street youth to adventures and careers in the great outdoors.

Admission is free.
