Director Biography

The filmmaker, Fiona Burton, is a 21 year old, sleep deprived film student at Stirling University. She is obsessive about film and her sole dream is to make things she’s proud of and have a good time doing it. If she could take credit for making any film it would be Harold and Maude because let's face it- nothing has ever made anyone simultaneously cry and laugh harder.
