Welcome to the first episode of The Movies And Me, a podcast project of ours where in each of these episodes we sit down with a filmmaker, writer, someone who works in the film industry or just someone who is a big cinephile who just lives for movies. We talk about their creative projects and also discuss their four favourite films that have inspired them to go out and have a career in film. Or four films that have least inspired them to seek out the career they have today.
On this first episode, Anders and Adam Holmes sit down with a bonafide and talented filmmaker Callum Burn, Anders's old Met Film School friend, and talk about his new feature film Battle Over Britain. A low budget Second World War film about a group of exhausted Spitfire pilots fighting to the last man/pilot during the Battle Of Britain. A film that Anders worked on last year as a sound recordist and boom operator.
Since finishing film school ten years ago, Callum and his father Andrew Burn have started their own independent production company Tin Hat Productions and already have two feature films under their belt, Lancaster Skies and Spitfire Over Berlin, and with plenty more in development. We talk about Battle Over Britain, the limitations and process of making a big scale film on a small budget and the four (or five films) that have inspired Callum to aspire to be a director.
The film premiere's in select UK cinemas on December 1st.
