The founder and president of ÉCU, Scott Hillier, is a Paris-based Australian filmmaker. He gained international recognition[citation needed] from his cinematography, editing, writing producing and directing portfolio and served as Director of Photography on the documentary Twin Towers which won an Academy Award in 2003.
