Anthony Scott Burns

Who is Anthony Scott Burns?

Anthony Scott Burns is a Canadian filmmaker and artist.

Deeply involved and fascinated by film from a young age, Burns would build small models that he called his "parallel universes". By the age of 16, he began working on films, and was creating his own just two years later at 18. To expand his job opportunities he then moved to Toronto, where he landed a job at a boutique design firm and later got hired by MTV Canada as Senior Designer.

Later on, Burns started directing commercials and performing VFX on multiple shoots.

In May 2011, after viewing some of the work Burns had created over the years, Helios Productions announced it had hired Burns to direct a thriller/sci-fi feature entitled Dark Matter, written by Hugh Sterbakov. Filming is to begin in November 2011 in Canada.
