Impasse is a short film which explores the concept of dreams. The film was created through the notion that film and dreams share similarities; that cinema is like sleeping where the viewer becomes an unconcious spectator of involving images.



The piece was created as part of a masters project at the Glasgow School of Art. The full version of the film is an interactive… Continue

A HUGE thanks to everyone - 25 presenters and the 200+ attendees - for making Friday's inaugural BarCamp Glasgow such a huge, frenetic success.

Here are some of the studentship opportunities for next year we're currently offering at UWS - please pass on to anyone appropriate you think might be interested. We're very keen to hear from people who would like to have a strong practice-led element in their proposals. Some of them are mainly based in our offices at CCA and Film City.

Me and the Giants main focus is on toddler parent interaction and education with our games/toys. We aim to create apps that not only entertain but aid the development of children as well as improve communication between parents and there… Continue

Looking for new avenues to explore, I entered the competition to design and produce the Glasgow Film Festival's trailer which, all going well, will be presented to cinema goers across Scotland and northern England in the weeks leading up to the GFF. After succesfully being shortlisted(woohoo!), I embarked on a convoluted journey through my disjointed ideas and inappropriate graphic devices before pulling myself from the jaws of defeat by… Continue
