Andrew Burton is an actor, writer, producer, and director who leads his own motion picture company, Burton Pictures. As a self-taught filmmaker, Burton has made several feature films including Roma 96, Pan American 1, 2 and 3, Chernobyl High and the most recent, All the Lord's Men. In addition to directing all his films, Burton also writes all the studio's productions. Burton Pictures, dedicated to producing and delivering high-quality entertainment to audiences worldwide, focuses on continuously creating original content which it owns, and which provides avenues to the creation of further content within the company's cinematic universe. The entertainment company generates multi-film stories believing that the future of motion picture storytelling should be through long-form narrative. Through this process, Burton utilizes the unique attributes of cinema to entertain a global audience. Andrew Burton's passion for motion pictures began as a young boy growing up in Oregon. In addition to being studious, he was an internationally ranked skier who graduated high school with honors and went on to attend Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. While at the Ivy League school, Burton took several writing classes and graduated with an English Degree. Aside from screenwriting, Burton loves the entire creative process including bringing the project to fruition through his directing. Whether behind the camera or creating worlds through his storytelling, he believes that everyone should be given the chance to contribute their ideas. Creativity should never be stifled, and in his own experience, the best takes during a shoot are usually takes one and two. He also feels it is important for morale and the film itself to keep it moving - "shoot fast, don't storyboard too much, and be open to shots and ideas coming to you on the day." Burton's final piece of advice to up-and-coming writers and directors is to make sure to follow through on your vision of the film, and make sure everyone on the set feels good. Show less «
