About me

Jack Burney is an up-and-coming British Filmmaker interested in stories that push boundaries and create true cinematic experiences. Inspired by classics such as David Lean and Stanley Kubrick and yet motivated by contemporary filmmakers like David Fincher and Robert Eggers, Jack brings a classic approach to filmmaking while also embracing and exploring new, experimental ideas that push the boundaries of the medium.

First and foremost a storyteller, Jack grew up around literature and novels. Only through his interest in photography and his involvement with the Scouting Movement did he find the world of media and content creation. Slowly Jack started to discover the creative side of videography and this led him to studying film at College and then enrolling in Experimental Film Production at Staffordshire University where he graduated from in 2020 with a First Class Degree. While there, he discovered a real interest in experimental cinema and how he could integrate experimental techniques and practises into more accessible stories.

Jack used this fascination with experimental cinema, combined with a family life filled with highly productive, business-orientated people, to push the boundaries of what constitutes a ‘student film’ by producing large scale, well-organised films that gained national and international recognition in the form of film festivals and awards.

Jack is a no-nonsense filmmaker and demands a high level of work from the people around him. When working with others, he will always be looking to push a project further to create the best version of that film that can be made. Uninterested with the technologies, the software, or the equipment, Jack is instead focused on the craft of filmmaking and of storytelling in order to create true cinematic experiences that resonate with its audience and push the boundaries of filmmaking.
