As an independent filmmaker, its always good to get feedback and to know that your film has delivered the audience reaction you'd intended.

Yesterday, we shared our short film with some of the wild swimming groups who had helped us pull it together and the response has been amazing.

Thanks for the kind comments and glad it hit the mark.

Thanks to all the cold water swimmers who allowed us to come along and film a few sessions across the North-East of Scotland in the chilly winter conditions in November and December this year,

Hopefully, like taking part in wild swimming, the film brings a smile to your face and inspires many to do more next year.

DOORWAYS IN DRUMORTY | ONLINE PREMIERE
Theatre is one of the industries still suffering as a result of ongoing covid safeguarding and restrictions with no immediate date in sight of opening up to full capacity. But, did you know, you can still get your fix.

Fierce Beastie was approached by the Awkward Stranger theatre group to see if we could help out with an hour long abridged video version of their successful touring stage play Doorways in Drumorty. All at the height of the strictest lockdown restrictions, therefore we had to think of a different (and remote) way of producing it.

Adapted from the book by Strichen born Hollywood screenwriter and author Lorna Moon, the video features the original cast of the highly successful 2019 Scottish tour.

The film version will be available to watch online for a limited 48 hour period from 7pm on Friday 18th to 7pm on Sunday 20 June.

To access the video, make sure you visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYFswT0FGv8 and support this great production.

Doorways in Drumorty by Mike Gibb based on the stories of the same name by Strichen born Lorna Moon. A film supported by The Doric Board, Cumbernauld Theatre...
