Back from Jupiter // Mannen från Jupiter - submission to ÉCU 2013There are people who don't fit into the society. By accident we came in touch with one of them, a 61 years old man who had broken all human contact 45 years ago. he never answered the phone or opened the steel-barred door. He was totally stuck inside a mental bubble. The reason was to be found far back in his childhood and youth. Would he ever get out of the bubble? We thought he might. One day we made a trip with him where he was confronted with events and people who had been crucial for his decision. The result was beyond all expectations and showed how important it is to be seen and aknowledged. And how litle is needed! //Il ya des gens qui ne rentrent pas dans la société. Par hasard nous sommes en contact avec l'un d'eux. Il n'a jamais répondu au téléphone ou ouvrir la porte. Il était totalement coincé dans une bulle mentale. La raison es trouvait loin dand son enfance et sa jeunesse. Aurait-il jamais sortir de la bulle? Nous avons pensé qu'il pourrait. Un jour, nous avons fait un voyage avec lui où il a été confronté à des événements et des personnes qui avaient joué un rôle crucial pour sa décision. La résultat a dépassé tout les attentes et a montré combien il est important d'etre vu et reconnu. Et combien peu est nécessaire! (1 vote) |

Scott Hillier, Founder and President of ÉCU - The European Independent Film Festival
Scott Hillier is a director, cinematographer, and screenwriter, based in Paris, France. In the last 20 years, Hillier has gained international recognition from his strong and incredible cinematography, editing, writing, producing and directing portfolio in both the television and film industries.
Scott began his career in the television industry in Australia. In 1988, he moved to London getting a job with the BBC who then set him to Baghdad. This opportunity led him to 10 years of traveling around world for the BBC, mainly in war zones like Somalia, Bosnia, Tchetcheynia, Kashmir, and Lebanon. After a near fatal encounter with a Russian bomber in Tchechnyia, Hillier gave up his war coverage and began in a new direction.
He moved to New York City in 1998. He directed and photographed eight one-hour documentaries for National Geographic and The Discovery Channel. Based on his war knowledge and experience, Hillier wrote and directed a short film titled, “Behind the Eyes of War!" The film was awarded “Best Short Dramatic Film” at the New York Independent Film and TV Festival in 1999. From that he served as Supervising Producer and Director for the critically acclaimed CBS 42 part reality series, "The Bravest” in 2002 and wrote and directed a stage play called, "Deadman’s Mai l," which ran at Le Théâtre du Moulin de la Galette in Paris during the summer of 2004. He then became the Director of Photography on a documentary titled, “Twin Towers." This was yet another life changing experience for Hillier. The riveting documentary won an Academy Award for "Best Documentary Short Subject" in 2003. In 2004, Hillier changed continents again, spending three months in Ethiopia. He produced “Worlds Apart,” a pilot for ABC America / True Entertainment / Endemol. As you can see, Hillier was and is always in constant movement and enjoys working in a number of diverse creative areas including documentaries, music videos, commercials, feature and short films.
Scott studied film at New York University and The London Film and Television School. He also studied literary non-fiction writing at Columbia University. Hillier's regular clients include the BBC, Microsoft, ABC, PBS and National Geographic. Between filming assignments, he used to teach film, a Masters Degree course in Screenwriting at the Eicar International Film School in Paris, France and journalism at the Formation des Journalistes Français in Paris, France.
