A distillery in the idyllic English countryside provides beautiful spirits to its adoring guests from all over the worlds. Behind this perfect facade is an underground human body disposal operation.

Director Statement

Distill Bill is a passion project that springs from my intention to blend dark humour with profound themes.

The ensemble cast of Midlands-based actors brings these eccentric, morally dubious characters to life, each playing their part in a delicate balance of professionalism to the 'job' and chaos.

An original score underscores the shifting tones, heightening the unpredictability of a world where every barrel of gin could contain a human head. Visually, we lean into the contrast between the distillery’s bright visitors centre and the grim reality lurking in the heart of the warehouse—crafting a world that feels both grounded and surreal.

This film is a love letter to black comedy in its sharpest form—where laughter and discomfort walk hand in hand.
