This was a really enjoyable project for me personally, because I got to explore lots of places in Scotland, having previously only spent time in Edinburgh (of course, directing plays at the fringe!).
The Scotland Office and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy required a series of films promoting the UK government’s Industrial Strategy for Scotland and its impacts. We created a main film looking at the benefits for several industries from the IS, and several specialist films which focus on industry leader case studies. We shot these with crew of just two (myself and DoP Ryan Blackwood) in a few days. Highlights include filming and playing with robots at an Edinburgh university, and visiting Pitlochry dam hydro station.
