From Sponsored Movies to Coming-of-Age Classics: Bill Forsyth Talks About Pioneering Scottish Cinema 🔗 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎥 🍿 🗣 🇬🇧

The Scottish director of “Gregory’s Girl” and “Local Hero” talks about how he got started in film.

Nowadays it’s pretty tough to get the kind of very personal little films that I make financed. I’ve got friends here, there and everywhere, but when it comes down to crunching the numbers, my things are still a little too esoteric. Having said that, I’m still plowing on. I have probably seven or eight scripts now in my satchel if anyone knocks on my door and asks what I’m doing.
