Donside Pictures are two good guys who make films about whatever they like.
Great Scottish artist Francez McDougall generously provides an insight into his work.
Here it is, the trailer for Occasional Monsters, Donside Pictures' first full-length feature. Exciting times.Occasional Monsters premieres at Aberdeen's Belmont Cinema on Thursday 9th October at 8.30pm. Be there or be a fool.
'Life in Ruins' is a mockumentary short about a visiting filmmaker's search for the 'classical Scotsman'. Things do not work out as expected.We've submitted this to a few different short film festivals. We expect to receive responses between March & June, so we have a bit of a wait before we hear anything. Meanwhile, our work continues...
GGI strive to keep a low profile over Christmas, but the horror will not stop in 1986.
