Distill Bill
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.
When a police officer notices something strange and decides to pop in, the team are left with a difficult choice.
Will they hide and hope for the best, or turn him into their newest product?

Luke Worrall is a director hailing from Northamptonshire, England.
All of his short films have been self funded, featuring a wide array of local talent.
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.
