STEFAN HUNT IS A FILM MAKER.

He directs, shoots, edits, sometimes even jumps in front of the camera. But none of this really defines why he does it, and the why is important to Stefan. You see, he believes that creativity and social impact should not be separate to one another. He also believes that having fun in a professional work environment should be compulsory. He believes everyone has a story, and he has the passion to share them.

It all began in 2006 when he packed his camera, headed to the USA, bought an ice cream truck and drove to all fifty states to make a documentary. No lie. Since then he has directed commercials, TV series and award winning documentaries across the globe with one simple goal. To inspire change through creativity.

Six Shooter (2004)

Six Shooter (2004) – Harsh Irish comedy about a sad train journey

Six Shooter (2004) – black and bloody Irish comedy about a sad train journey where an older man, whose wife has died that morning, encounters a strange and possibly psychotic young oddball….

The film earned several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. McDonagh is a brilliant story teller and fully deserves his Tony nominations and his Olivier Award for Best Play (The Pillowman). McDonagh (formerly a playwright, here making his film debut) is a master craftsman, able to play several levels at the same time. “Six Shooter” is shocking, heartbreaking and very funny, often simultaneously. The story, in a nutshell, revolves around four people, each suffering a very recent death in their families. As they each deal with the loss in very different ways, they collide with each other, sometimes with words, sometimes with more. It’s also fantastic to see the raw talent of Ruaidhri Conroy back on screen and with none other than Brendan Gleeson, the master! The cast is uniformly excellent, especially Brendan Gleeson as the sad-eyed protagonist. McDonagh’s pitch-perfect writing – while not approaching the near-apocalyptic absurdity of plays like “The Lieutenant of Inishmore”.

Directed by Martin McDonagh. Starring: Brendan Gleeson, Rúaidhrí Conroy, David Wilmot, Aisling O’Sullivan

My Best Friend’s Birthday (1987)

First movie by Quentin Tarantino! Like a blueprint for everything he would do after this…

It is big day for Mickey – his Birthday and his girlfriend just left him. His friend Clarence shows him a birthday Mickey will never forget. We will never see this movie in full. The final reel of this movie was destroyed in a lab fire that broke out during editing and the only surviving parts were edited together to make this 34 minutes short movie. Still you never get the feeling that you’re ever really missing any sequences while watching this movie.

I find it funny that people are saying this is “trash”. This was done on a budget of what, less than nothing. Reservoir Dogs was done on like nothing. I’d like to see you write, direct and star in your own film as good as this. You do realise this wasn’t just the first film he made, it was the first film he wrote. This is the screenplay for True Romance for any of you that didn’t know. So i’d like to see you write, direct and star in a film this good and then have it go on to be a major motion picture, and oh yeah go on to be one of the biggest people in Hollywood today.

it’s not bad for a first film, especially when you add in the fact that Tarantino taught him self without any College plus back then there was no internet

Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Starring Craig Hamann, Quentin Tarantino, Crystal Shaw Martell, Allen Garfield.
