Scottish Digital Shorts launched 2009

Missed the one in Glasgow but still in time for the rest of the country.

From Scottish Screen's website "Scottish Digital Shorts 2009 is the country's key development initiative for new and emerging screenwriters and directors. Watch a selection of great digital short films selected by The Magic Lantern including Milk (directed by Peter Mackie Burns) Trawler and Trout (directed by Johnny Barrington) and Mono (directed by Richard Smith). Hear the commissioners speak about the project's aims. And meet the producers who will manage the talent pool and next year's productions."

Its always helpful to go out and meet any production execs attached to a film scheme. If you have any desire to apply to this scheme next year go and mingle.
