Following the Oscars & away from the glamour of Tinseltown a new wave of homegrown talent is emerging to put Scotland on the film-making map. I caught this news item in the P&J about Highland Film-makers and decided to unashamedly plug some local talent.
Extract from the Article:
“…At the other end of the scale, a new band of DIY film-makers are proving it is possible to reach an audience of millions with little more than a digital camera, a YouTube link-up and a good idea….
Adulation greeted teenager Drew Cameron, from Drumnadrochit, when he and four former school friends posted a series of surreal adventures featuring an empty milk carton on YouTube.
The youngsters became cult figures, getting stopped on the street by fans and winning admirers around the world.
Mr Cameron said it had been relatively easy to make the leap from aspiring filmmakers to internet sensations.”

Coming to the Sci Fi Channel in the USA on Saturday January 5th 2008, this film is the antithesis of the recent release of the family film The Water Horse.
No cuddly Kelpies here! Previously called ‘Loch Ness Terror’ (scroll down to a previous post to see an ace cheesy trailer ) ‘Beyond Loch Ness’ is American TV’s 2008 contribution to the B-movie horror fare for lake monsters.
The ‘Plot’ : As far as we can tell - Nessie has relocated to Canada, possibly after an internet romance, has shacked up with Champ and has bred lots of little monsters. This happy family unit then appears to try and eat everyone in sight - which they kind of deserve as the main character is out to kill them after his dad was allegedly munched by Nessie 20 years earlier. Probably in retribution for really bad acting.
Screenings in Scotland may have to wait until after we can sort out Nessie’s repatriation and give her counselling to work through the trauma of being involved in such scurrilous activities . It is yet unclear if Champ & the kids will be moving back with her.
To our American cousins - Happy Viewing!
The crew of ‘the coolest boat in the world’, Earthrace, wakeboard on Loch Ness.
The Earthrace is rapidly becoming the highest-profile powerboat in the world, as well as one of the greenest. It is a showcase of environmentally friendly technologies such as low-emissions engines, non-toxic anti-foul and efficient hull design. It is also one of the coolest looking boats ever imagined.
Another amazing sight on Loch Ness!
