How We Got Away With It - Submission to ÉCU 2013Henry, scruffy and haggard, is released from jail only to discover his beloved sister, Sarah, has hung herself in the family home. On the shore of Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY, sits the stately house, which has held horrible secrets for decades. Henry decides comeuppance has arrived and plots to take revenge on his abusive father, Walter. But today is also the day his friends arrive for their annual summer reunion...and he chooses this weekend to execute his plan. Henry enlists his oldest friend, Will, in the plot. The rest of the group; Anne, Henry's long-distance girlfriend, Dallas, his pal from college, Leigh, Will's lady with a secret of her own, Ronnie, a childhood friend with addiction issues, and Elizabeth, a newbie to the gang, are oblivious to Sarah's death and Henry's impulsive scheme. Henry presses forward, believing his rash idea will work. But unbeknownst to him, his late sister had contacted a local cop, Becker, who now believes that something is terribly wrong and is determined to find Sarah. And he has the skills and knowledge to do it. Over the course of the weekend, as his friends party and Henry single-mindedly pursues deliverance, he sets in motion a series of events that will culminate in murderous violence that sweeps up the guilty and innocent alike, threatening to destroy them all. <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PSfSJfjmUM?version=3&hl=fr_FR"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PSfSJfjmUM?version=3&hl=fr_FR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> Cat. : Dramatic ecu submissions How We Got Away With It Jon Lindstrom paris United States Independent

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.
