Now onboarding content / producers - get in touch ahead of the launch at the festival!

“For decades, Scotland has produced extraordinary writers, filmmakers, actors and crews, but too often the IP, the audience relationship and the long-term value leave with the distribution”

If you’re in the car, or doing the dishes or even writing… let some of Dolly Parton’s legacy inspire you and tune into to our very own Wilson’s radio show, playing her music for a whole hour - and about to share his story of working an event with her library team in the states:

Last night, the G-Men took the G-Town Showcase cinema over by storm! The Scottish Screenwriters Festival team was delighted to host this high energy screening of ‘Welcome to G-Town’, the first since the film premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival earlier this year. Thank you to everyone who came out last night, making this one of the most popular events in our series of screenings so far!

Ben & Nathan McQuaid, chatted to Delegate Experience Lead on their debut feature in the style of Peter Jackson’s ‘Bad Taste’ after the film, and pinpointed the launching effect of having an exec producer believing in them creatively and backing them, echoing the panel held that festival director Maureen Hascoet attended earlier this week on the need for more private equity schemes supporting screen production - like the one Lynne Cadenhead is spearheading with Screen Scotland.

Big shout out to and for supporting the delivery of the screening and as always to Glasgow!

More on this soon!
Congratulations & ! See you at the festival!
