Pay As You Go - Full Short Film [2024] Pay As You Go follows Stuart, a man unable to connect with the people around him. Unable to talk to women and unappreciated by his friends, he just wants to be seen for once. After a series of rejections, he's forced to seek out the company of a stranger. This film explores themes of loneliness, social incompatibility and self-soothing escapism. Due the use of guided improvisation, the majority of the dialogue in this film was devised by the performers. We did our best to create real situations to place the actors in, letting it play out and only guiding where needed. Because of this would to thank and give credit to the performers in this film who brought so much to their roles and really helped shape the tone and reality of the situations shown in the narrative.

I hope that by showing characters with their flaws on display, the audience can measure themselves against the characters on the screen, find empathy and relate to the people and given circumstances presented to them. This film is inspired by the work of Derek Cianfrance, John Cassavetes and many naturalistic films that employ an alternative style of direction that focuses on creating real scenarios, placing performers in them and letting it play to find truth. I feel that we are often a reflection of the situations and environments that we find ourselves in so this approach has always be one I have a lot of admiration for.

Fly Trap - 2023 Short Film. Fly Trap an abstract indie short film that follows a young man in North America navigating the world in a state of mania, succumbing to his vices and the traps of city life. He doesn't belong in the boxes he was born into and looks outside for a sense of belonging, quickly thrown into chaos. This film was made using the same process one might use to make an abstract painting, letting idea spill straight from the sub-conscious after it had been fed the narrative and character elements of the film. The results were caught on camera and assembled into a film. Written and Directed by Scott Burchell Assistant Director: Tom Burchell Produced by Lipmouth Studios @lipmouth Cast: Scott Burchell Simon Roper @simonroper9218 Josh Liesicke Alison Greenfield Enzo Siqueira Passarini Liam Park Parker Hall Rachel Whiting Oliver Barton Tom Burchell Fight Spectators: Tank Braun Derrick Shonke Connor Savage Kobey Preston Written and Directed by Scott Burchell Assistant Director: Tom Burchell Camera ops: Tom Burchell, Scott Burchell and Simon Roper Original Score by The Paperwaits @ThePaperwaits Locations: Seattle, WA Langley, BC Fort Langley, BC Vancouver, BC Port Angeles, WA Guildford, Surrey https://www.lipmouthstudios.com ©Lipmouth Studios 2023

'I Hear Jazz in Central Park' - Full Short film (2024) - Shot in New York City A young man trapped in the monotony of modern life embarks on a wandering journey through New York City, confronting haunting memories and rediscovering himself through the echoes of a jazz band in Central Park. In the heart of New York City, a young man finds himself suffocating in the sterile predictability of his daily routine. Desperate to break free, he ventures out of his apartment, wandering through the city's bustling streets and chaotic subways. Along the way, he's haunted by the memory of a jazz band he once watched in Central Park—a fleeting moment that once made him feel profoundly connected and alive. Though he tries to suppress the image, it beckons him to confront the truths he’s buried within himself. As he grapples with his fears and self-imposed isolation, he realizes that finding meaning requires him to return to the very place that first stirred his soul. Guided by the echoes of music and memory, he heads back to Central Park, ready to face the reflection he’s long avoided. Credits: Produced by: Scott Burchell, @EricNorcross and Charly Louise Jazz trio: Alex Feldman and the West Fourth Trio - https://www.instagram.com/westfourthtrio/ Written and performed by: Scott Burchell Additional writing and dialect coaching: @simonroper9218 Dialect assistants: Derek Kingsley and Tim Halvorsen Music composed and arranged by: Tom Burchell Music Consultant: Ted Riley Production assistant: Jan Major Echoed voices in dream sequence: Eric Norcross, Derek Kingsley and Tim Halvorsen The film was made in collaboration with Eric Norcross and Charly Louise and was all shot on location in Manhattan back in October 2022. Life has been so busy and so the film was put on the back burner until finally getting finished this year. We spent a week shooting around Manhattan, starting downtown in Soho and Tribeca and then heading up towards Midtown, Times Square and of course, Central Park. While we went in with a basic script, the film formed from the collaboration as the three of us explored the city, allowing the narrative to shape as we went. It was such a wonderful way to discover New York on a deeper level than I had before. Cameras used: Panasonic , Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, DJI Pocket 2 and a super 8 camera shooting Kodak 50D https://www.lipmouthstudios.com ©Lipmouth Studios 2024 #film #filmmaking #newyork #movie

Bealdric has lost his house. Rather than live in an undignified situation, he has made the decision to live on the holt. From the beginning, he knows that he is out-of-place. Here, while I will have made some mistakes in the aspects of this period I am less familiar with, I have tried to shed a bit of a unique light on part of what we think of as the Anglo-Saxon period - although 'Anglo-Saxon' is used to cover such a large broad cultural spectrum. Paul Kingsnorth said at one point that it is difficult to capture a time period without stepping into the language a little bit - this is my own little answer to that :) ________ Thank you to Scott Burchell for all of his help with this film.

Writer's Block is a classic Hollywood film noir inspired short movie we shot just before Christmas. It follows an aspiring music composer as he tried to beat the clock and keep his job, will he be able to meet his deadline or will he cave and give into his vices? We wanted to see what we could create by just going on a fun idea with a strong style in mind. For this one, we ditched the expensive cameras and lenses and wanted to take on the challenge of shooting with only a phone and a small LED light. Entire short film shot on Apple iPhone 11 Pro The Roles Walt: Scott Burchell Walt's Boss: Thomas Burchell Written by: Thomas Burchell, Scott Burchell & Charly Louise Directed by Scott & Thomas Burchell Filmed by Thomas Burchell Edit, VFX and Music by Scott Burchell Film Grain overlays from https://eclipsi.tv/
