The Scotch

Moving conjures up all kinds of thigs for different people. For me it means moving house, living in a variety of countries and meeting a variety of cultures. My film, The Scotch, is a news-report spoof look at the stereotypes the English have for the Scottish. Shot in Edinburgh I ask members of the general public, some English, some Scottish, amusing and, sometimes, awkward questions based on cultural stereotypes.

I hope, although my angle is from an English perspective, the end film actually comes across as much more sympathetic towards the Scots in the film as the characters’ warmth and humour shines through.

 

Inspiration Statement
