TV Festival

Attended the Media Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival last weekend. Hectic, but very interesting, provocative and amusing. Couldn't help noticing "The Wire"s Jimmy McNulty AKA Dominic West, so asked to have a pic with him. I met him first thing in the morning, noticed he had the same stained t-shirt on all day. Stars, eh? I passed on Ant and Dec.

Wife very jealous.

Really looking forward to what happens next from RDF, Scotlands biggest independent production company. All the best to April and Hamish and all their people in Gla…

Another Exciting Company in Scotland

One of an occasional informal posting about the cool things I see every other day.

My job allows me to connect with some of the most exciting and energising people and companies on the planet - and they are right here in Scotland. I recently visited fellow "38 Min -iter" Giles Lamb of Savalas Sound. The company specialises in all aspects of sound production for film, tv and games, and operate from the Film City Glasgow building in Govan - a stones throw from the Ibrox tube station.

Scottish Enterprise commented on George Falconer's blog post 'a shared agenda...'
