Director Biography - Liam Burke

My fondest childhood memories include taking the family camcorder and pushing it around the house on a rolling desk chair with my eye on the viewfinder, I would make little stop animation films, and always wanted to look through a lens and tell stories. Both of my parents have worked in the film industry as professionals, and Film has always played a huge part in my life. In 2015 I completed a Bachelor of Arts in film. Academically I mainly focused on critical film rhetoric and theory, film history, the psychology of film, and its importance to us as humans, while also minoring in screenwriting. After college I began working full time in production as a PA on film and television sets in NYC for some years. I had worked my way through every PA position, and also worked as an AD at times. While working in production I developed more deeply the work ethic and professionalism that this industry requires, as well as observed and noted techniques of the many talented industry professionals whom I was given the opportunity to work alongside. Over the last few years, my love for storytelling has evolved viscerally and led me towards studying and seriously pursuing acting, while never forgetting my roots and love for writing and directing. I have studied with great teachers including Austin Pendleton who have helped me exponentially in my search for truth as a storyteller, both in front of, and behind the camera.

'Appetite' the film is the first Film that I have felt comfortable enough with to share professionally to the world, and it will not be my last. My next projects are all set to go and I am hoping to use this film as a calling card to open the door to bigger opportunities as a director, writer, and actor.
