John Burder is an independent British film producer and writer. His father, Claud Burder, worked as a parson and married his wife, Gabrielle in 1921. Mr Burder had two siblings - a sister, Mary, and a brother, George. Today, however, John is the only living child of Gabrielle and Claud as Mary sadly died at the young age of six from whooping cough and George died during World War II. Like his father, George joined the British Military and became a lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade. He was killed near the end of the war while crossing the Rhine. Understandably, Burder has a keen interest in the military and the history of the world wars as well as a deep respect for those who choose to risk their lives for their country, which is reflected in some of his work.
