Creative Scotland is financing a new Scottish Shorts initiative to invest in producers, writers and directors with the imagination to create thrilling, engaging stories to share with international audiences.
Scottish Shorts will work with up to 10 talent teams with short film proposals before commissioning four high-quality live action or animated films in early 2013.
Jointly managed by Hopscotch Films and DigiCult, the initiative draws on the experience of producers John Archer, Carolynne Sinclair Kidd and Paul Welsh – producer of Lore which is receiving its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival
