Question of the Week: Tell me something I don't know about you?

Tough Question as posed by Media Lecturer, Colin Somerville.

So many things, and yet so difficult to think of things on the spot (or should that be blog-spot...)

I think the most surprising thing in recent months, was that I was part of a Community film which was shot across Fife this Summer. A first-of-its-kind project, which took people from the community and turned them into Actors, Actresses, Writers, Set Designers, Costume and Composers.




The story of the film focusses on the 1926 General Strike, and the ensuing Miners Lock-Out. It features family stories of participants in the project, and you can see the emotion on members faces, as the story of their parents or Granparents are acted out in front of them.

The film, now in Post-Production, has been burning away in Director Robert Rae's mind for 4 years, and has been running workshops in the community for almost a year. The film is due to be released next Summer.... How exciting!!

  1. Wow! I didn't know you were some movie-star, I'm impressed and pretty jealous. I'm wanting more details when I see you next!

    Is Robert Rae relate to the producer Douglas?
