Driven Creativity Competition

Entry opens online on the 1st June and is free of charge!
Open to talented professional and non-professional filmmakers, entrants
will have the chance for their hard work and creative ambitions to be
recognised and rewarded.

Winners and runners-up will be awarded stylish G-Technology external
hard drives and the overall winner will receive €5,000 – all to further
drive their creativity.

The first year of the competition in 2010 saw hundreds of entrants
from all over Europe entering their work across the fields of
filmmaking, photography and music - both in professional and amateur
categories.

Last year’s film winners – including Adrian Westbrook in the professional category and Ke Nguyen
in the amateur category – had their work presented at London’s famous
Brick Lane gallery. This year, the winners will have the opportunity to
be part of a week-long gallery exhibition in London, Berlin and Paris in
October – drawing wide media attention to the successful creative work.

So be sure to enter your film between 1st June and 31st August at www.g-technology.eu/competition.

La première année de la compétition en 2010, des centaines de

Les gagnants de l’année dernière dans la catégorie meilleur film de l'année - Adrian Westbrook dans la catégorie professionnelle et Ke Nguyen

About ÉCU-The European Independent Film Festival

Hillier Scott
(ECU)

 

 

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.
