S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I guess that's the first one today.
0:03
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye.
0:03
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, good stuff.
0:04
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
0:06
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
So,
0:07
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
yeah, I suppose the first question would be,
0:09
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, what attracted you to the story of,
0:11
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I suppose both Sir Douglas Weatherford,
0:13
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I mean, the name itself comes with a great amount of humour,
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
doesn't it?
0:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye, exactly.
0:18
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
So the name,
0:19
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and also,
0:20
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, Kenneth as well,
0:21
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
because really interesting character,
0:24
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and I thought Peter Mullen,
0:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
perfect fit to play him,
0:26
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know. Aye.
0:27
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But before we get into Peter's role,
0:28
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
what kind of...
0:30
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
attracted you to both those stories,
0:32
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
if you like.
0:32
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So,
0:35
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the Weatherford thing,
0:36
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
no worries.
0:37
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Honestly,
0:40
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I don't know where the name came from.
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Douglas Weatherford.
0:42
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
It's Douglas, Scottish name.
0:44
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Weatherford,
0:45
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the weather.
0:46
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
It was literally something like that.
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But the idea for that
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
character, that was like the...
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you know, we're proud of,
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
like, the Enlightenment era,
0:58
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
especially Edinburgh,
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you know what I mean?
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
We've got David Hume and Adam Smith kind of thing,
1:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and we're kind of Scottish people,
1:04
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I guess, brought up to be proud of our inventors.
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
1:08
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So that was kind of,
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah, that was where he came from.
1:13
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He saw an amalgam of these figures that we've kind of learned about
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
when we're growing up.
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And,
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah,
1:21
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the idea was...
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
in the Grapefriars Kirkyard with my wife in the
1:28
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Thomas Riddle grave there and going coming back
1:32
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and showing her the city for the first time she's from Dubai and
1:36
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I showed her I don't know why we went to the graveyard but we
1:40
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
were there and there's a lot of tourists in capes
1:45
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and stuff like that
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
It was like a Harry Potter tour,
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
basically.
1:49
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And they were in front of that gravestone.
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And I didn't know who that was,
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Thomas Riddle.
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
My wife told me it was Voldemort,
1:59
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and I learned more about it.
2:01
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But I just found it interesting that this guy,
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Thomas Riddle,
2:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the real man who's dead,
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
who died in 1803,
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I think it was,
2:11
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
as a captain in the British Army in Trinidad.
2:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So I was like...
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
interested in what happened in Trinidad in 1803 and it was like that's when
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the British took it over basically and turned it into a plantation I didn't know this
2:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
either by the way so I'm going to have a look at it it's an interesting kind
2:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
of thing but then it's like obviously that's not considered now that's
2:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
now Voldemort so it's just like that was the interest
2:37
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Was Pete there,
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
basically.
2:39
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, that's brilliant.
2:40
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
And what about the role of Kenneth?
2:41
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Because, you know,
2:42
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I suppose it's interesting.
2:44
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I'm intrigued to see how the audience react.
2:46
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But, you know,
2:47
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
we start by feeling...
2:49
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
a lot of we'll start on this I suppose but a lot of sympathy for Kenneth and his grief
2:53
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know and he's dealing with these changes in the area and exactly what you're talking about
2:57
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
there but then eventually we
3:01
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
see that grief turning into something much darker you know and it's
3:06
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
interesting to play with the audience I suppose in a sense well they still be on Kenneth's
3:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
side towards the end of the film but I wonder if you could just unpack that a little bit Sean
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah I mean I guess that's the
3:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
The difficult thing was,
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and maybe some of the questions that financiers
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
or whoever had,
3:24
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
producers or whatever had,
3:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
how will the audience sort of get on board with him?
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
3:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Because of some of his
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
beliefs, maybe his belief system and through his behaviour,
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
he's quite a dogged,
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
not necessarily likeable person,
3:42
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you know what I mean?
3:43
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's quite closed off in a way.
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But I think that we kind of,
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
audiences like characters who,
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
what do you call it,
3:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
like the underdog a little bit,
3:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
or like somebody who believes in something.
3:58
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
That's great,
4:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
thank you.
4:03
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Mullen seems perfect for that sort of role where he brings
4:08
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
a great energy to the part but he plays these
4:12
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
stubborn guys on the fringes a little bit and he
4:17
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
really brings them to life.
4:18
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Was Peter Mullen your original choice for the
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
part?
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I didn't have...
4:24
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I didn't have an idea who it would be.
4:26
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
The casting director suggested that we could send
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
the script to Peter and I said yes,
4:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that would be nice.
4:35
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And then he's pretty quick to agree to do it,
4:39
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
so it wasn't like I necessarily had him in mind or anything,
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but once I found out that he would be interested,
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I couldn't really see past it.
4:48
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He does bring that gravitas,
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
he brings a humanity to him as a character,
4:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
even if he can be a little bit dislikable sometimes.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's also authentic.
5:01
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Peter is an actor.
5:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He doesn't do anything that he doesn't feel kind of thing.
5:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So I think when the audience is watching that,
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
a character believe in something and fight for something in
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
a way, no matter what it is,
5:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you kind of get on board with him a bit.
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So I think maybe that's how that...
5:20
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Didn't answer your first question,
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that's how that's sort of bridged.
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But you get on board,
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you get behind him because you see how passionate he is and that kind of
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
thing.
5:32
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
You know, the interesting thing about Peter is he's our director as well.
5:36
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I mean,
5:38
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I remember I wrote my dissertation on orphans.
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Did you?
5:41
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Oh, cool.
5:42
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It was an amazing film.
5:42
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
And I got to speak to him.
5:44
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I remember one story he told me.
5:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I wanted to ask you about this.
5:46
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
He was arguing with Ken Loach about the ending of My Name is Joe.
5:50
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
And I wondered if he did that at any point with you because I thought this is brilliant.
5:54
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Because did he ever say,
5:56
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
no, my character wouldn't do this.
5:57
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Did he do that?
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Oh, yeah.
5:58
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Peter.
5:59
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, yeah.
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I mean, he didn't tell me that story,
6:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
no, but I'm not surprised that he did do that.
6:04
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah,
6:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah. Every day was a bit of a challenge,
6:08
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but in a good way.
6:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, in a good way, yeah,
6:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
yeah. That's not surprised.
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye, I don't think I'd...
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
No, he wouldn't do that.
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
6:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Okay,
6:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but that's kind of what we set up to shoot and I've written this.
6:21
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It's really interesting.
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye, but it's better for it,
6:24
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
obviously.
6:24
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Especially in reflection.
6:26
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Could you give me an example?
6:27
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I'll tell you the one scene I thought where,
6:29
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, when he throws the sword away and the guy that's being threatened
6:33
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
basically says,
6:34
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
no, let him go.
6:35
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
And I thought,
6:36
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I could imagine Peter saying,
6:37
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
no, the guy would press charges on him.
6:39
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Did he say that at all?
6:40
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
He didn't say that,
6:41
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but that's probably because he wouldn't want to step on any other actor's toes kind
6:45
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
of thing, you know what I mean?
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's actually so respectful of his fellow actors and all that.
6:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's like,
6:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
even when you've not got the camera on him.
6:52
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But he has lines,
6:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you know what I mean?
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He'll be there.
6:57
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And that's not always the case.
7:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, that's brilliant.
7:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's really dedicated like that.
7:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
But definitely one example where,
7:06
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
excuse me,
7:06
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
is when he elbows the guy.
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Oh, yeah.
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
In the script they punched him,
7:12
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
basically. And he was like,
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
nah, he wouldn't do that,
7:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
he wouldn't punch him.
7:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
He's not that kind of guy.
7:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Because in the script they actually got a lot darker,
7:19
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
right? Yeah, yeah.
7:23
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, his argument was if you're punching somebody for the first time,
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
which he thinks Kenneth would have been punching somebody for the first time,
7:28
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you get all filled with adrenaline.
7:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah.
7:30
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So he's like,
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah. So that was one time,
7:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but he'd done it throughout.
7:33
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Right, right.
7:34
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, the ideas.
7:35
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It's really interesting.
7:36
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I thought Kerry Fox,
7:38
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
that was a great cameo part.
7:41
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I mean, she was perfect for that role as well,
7:43
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
wasn't she?
7:44
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Did you think of her or was that just,
7:46
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
how did that come about?
7:47
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
That was,
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
my friend is friends with her,
7:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
basically.
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So it was that kind of way.
7:52
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
We hadn't cast that until,
7:56
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
when we were trying to cast that,
7:57
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I wasn't sure.
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And then,
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah, my friend suggested,
8:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
and Kerry was brilliant.
8:03
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
She came up for the day and done it.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah,
8:07
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
no, she was really good.
8:08
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
She was brilliant to work with.
8:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Brilliant, brilliant.
8:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I mean,
8:11
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
within all that,
8:12
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, I mean, Gary McCormack is very fantastic,
8:14
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know.
8:15
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It sounds like that old Edinburgh cliche,
8:17
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but my grandparents were friends with his parents.
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Really?
8:20
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
The only wee cottage in Dunbar,
8:22
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and his mum and dad,
8:23
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Joe and Nancy, used to go and stay at it.
8:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Right.
8:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Gary's such a character.
8:27
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Oh, aye.
8:27
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But,
8:28
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
yeah, I watched your short film this morning,
8:29
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and I thought that was great as well.
8:31
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I could really see...
8:32
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
parallels here with like this this idea of a certain identity yeah
8:37
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and feeling that you're a bit of an outsider within your identity but how it how it kind
8:41
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
of crushes other people like gary's character the wife the
8:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
son obviously i had to watch it twice actually because i kind of i was watching it
8:49
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
on a small screen and i missed the suicide i went back and actually
8:53
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know um kate dickie's character
8:56
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Is it hard that it's in the car that has the affair with the other guy in the car?
8:59
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, because it wasn't clear the screen I was on,
9:02
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but I could really see parallels between these two films,
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Sean.
9:06
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Could you talk a wee bit about that?
9:07
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Would you say that was...
9:08
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Do you see that?
9:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Was that an idea you've been thinking about or working
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
on for a while?
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Definitely about identity and,
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
like, people...
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I think people being caught in their...
9:22
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
What's the word?
9:24
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Like, their identity being formed through things that are,
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I don't know,
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I mean, I'm not saying bad about people,
9:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
but it can be quite dogmatic.
9:36
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
People, like, close themselves off,
9:37
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that's my identity,
9:38
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that's who I am.
9:40
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, yeah.
9:43
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And I guess,
9:43
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah,
9:44
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that was Gary's character in that film.
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And I guess she was kind of trapped in that system,
9:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
in that world,
9:50
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Kate Dickey's character.
9:53
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
And then for Kenneth,
9:54
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
same problem with him,
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I guess, is he's formed an identity.
10:00
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
to the place where he's from through
10:04
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
this sort of character,
10:06
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
he wants to take ownership of that.
10:08
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I don't know,
10:12
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I just think that's a fool's pursuit,
10:16
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
is that the word?
10:16
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
It's not really the most important things in life that go beyond
10:21
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
that, family and things like that.
10:22
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
He sort of doesn't see that,
10:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Kenneth.
10:25
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
He's like, that's the most important thing to him in the world.
10:29
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So maybe,
10:30
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
like, yeah,
10:31
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
identity and,
10:32
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
like, tribalism.
10:34
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, yeah.
10:35
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Tribalism,
10:36
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
definitely, for sure.
10:37
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
The themes are,
10:38
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
like, things that gravitate towards.
10:40
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
But it's not,
10:43
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
it wasn't that conscious.
10:44
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah,
10:45
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah.
10:45
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
For British,
10:48
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
by the grace of God,
10:48
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
it was, I mean,
10:50
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
we had a lot of time to think about nationalism and,
10:52
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
on one side,
10:54
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Scottish nationalism,
10:55
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
SNP,
10:56
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
and...
10:57
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
that whole thing and then we had the
11:00
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
The Brexit thing as well,
11:01
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
so I think we've been contending with the idea of nationalism for a while.
11:04
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Absolutely, yeah.
11:05
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
You know what I mean? I thought it was interesting hearing Farage's voice
11:09
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
in the film as well and where we're at at the moment.
11:11
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I can't believe it.
11:13
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I know,
11:14
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
so much going on there.
11:15
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Gary McCormack as well,
11:17
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I've got to ask you, but just seeing Gary play the part,
11:20
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
there's a certain amount of pomp,
11:22
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and with the voiceover it works so well.
11:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Is it the actor,
11:26
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
is it Hyde?
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Jonathan Hyde,
11:28
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah.
11:28
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
How did you come about that idea,
11:30
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
getting the voiceover with Gary in the role?
11:33
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
First of all,
11:35
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I'd say Gary.
11:35
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Gary, I'd have him in all my films.
11:38
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
He's a good friend of mine now.
11:40
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
He's a great guy.
11:42
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
But with the voiceover itself,
11:46
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
that came later,
11:48
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
actually.
11:49
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
It wasn't in the screenplay.
11:50
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
The edit was a long one,
11:52
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
basically.
11:55
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
My wife edited it,
11:56
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
so we had a lot of time editing.
11:58
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Did you meet in film school then?
11:59
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye, we met in film school over there.
12:02
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
She's edited the shorts.
12:05
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
She didn't start off editing the feature,
12:08
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
but then she came in.
12:09
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
It was just like kicking about ideas.
12:13
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
One day I could have a voiceover.
12:18
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
And we were actually able to try it out with AI.
12:21
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I don't know if I should be saying that.
12:24
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Maybe I'll get in trouble.
12:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But to be honest,
12:27
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I was able to time things with that and then obviously
12:31
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
get Jonathan actually done it.
12:33
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
So,
12:35
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
yeah.
12:35
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It works really well.
12:39
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Were you from Edinburgh?
12:40
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Because I wanted to ask,
12:41
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, does Edinburgh kind of inform the stories you want to tell?
12:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Because I could definitely see an element of that,
12:47
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, certainly in the short film and even thinking about,
12:50
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, Kenneth in a way.
12:51
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
He's sort of a bit of an art.
12:53
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
We all know guys a bit like Kenneth as well.
12:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah,
12:55
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
totally.
12:56
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I probably can't help but inform somewhere
13:00
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
in my brain when I'm trying to come up with an idea or whatever,
13:02
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
definitely.
13:02
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I went to Leith Academy,
13:05
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Craig and Tinney areas where I...
13:08
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
where I was brought up.
13:09
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
Hibs fan.
13:11
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah,
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
my son plays for Hibs,
13:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
actually. Does he?
13:15
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Well, he won player of the year for under -15s.
13:18
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Amazing.
13:19
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
So it's been an amazing season.
13:20
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
What's his name?
13:20
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Ryan Purgdon.
13:21
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Ryan Purgdon.
13:22
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I'll show you a picture at the end,
13:23
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
actually, because he's...
13:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
he just played the final at Celtic Park,
13:27
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
against Celtic,
13:28
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but probably wasn't the best move,
13:29
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
because it was a home game for Celtic,
13:32
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
where Falkirk was mooted,
13:34
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but they never did it,
13:35
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
so they did get beat in the final,
13:36
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but what a job it was,
13:37
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
because he went out with a broken collarbone,
13:39
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
so he was out for a few games,
13:40
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and then he,
13:41
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
what was the other thing he did,
13:43
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
he scored against Hearts,
13:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but got a concussion,
13:48
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and I'm like, but he's still got a play in the year,
13:51
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
so it's been something,
13:52
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
you know, but it's been amazing.
13:54
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Yeah, that's amazing. That takes a lot.
13:58
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Like, for you, dedication to get to where he is now.
14:00
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I know, it's been years.
14:01
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Ever since he was,
14:02
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
like, tiny, he's just loved kicking up all day.
14:04
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But I'll talk to you about that and I'll get back to this because there's still a few things to ask.
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I don't know where I was there.
14:09
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Was it Peter?
14:10
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Or, hang on,
14:12
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I think I'd asked you something that's gone up my house.
14:14
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Oh,
14:15
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
no, coming from Edinburgh.
14:16
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye. That was it.
14:17
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Yeah, so I suppose,
14:18
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
like, you know, coming from Edinburgh and that informing your sort of,
14:21
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
your ideas,
14:22
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
the writing, what kind of films,
14:24
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
stories you want to tell,
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that kind of thing.
14:25
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Definitely.
14:27
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
As I said,
14:27
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
it can't help,
14:28
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
but it's just where you're from and it's always...
14:32
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Aye.
14:33
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
It isn't really that conscious,
14:36
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I don't think.
14:37
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
I would definitely make films elsewhere if I was given an
14:41
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
opportunity.
14:43
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
a big franchise film or something.
14:45
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
You know what I mean?
14:47
S… Speaker 3 (260610_0490)
But it definitely feeds into it for sure.
14:50
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
What other films were an influence?
14:54
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I wondered,
14:55
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
it doesn't have to be,
14:56
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
but I thought maybe any Peter Mullen films or maybe...
15:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Like, you know, I was thinking about,
15:01
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
you know, the King of Comedy and stuff like that,
15:02
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
a few resonances.
15:03
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Is there anything in particular?
15:05
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
King of Comedy.
15:06
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
King of Comedy was right at doing this.
15:08
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Definitely that character,
15:09
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Pupkin,
15:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and his view of the world and himself was,
15:14
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
he's completely out of step with reality,
15:17
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
that guy, obviously.
15:19
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But originally I was saying it was Steven Spielberg films when I was a kid
15:23
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
that got me into wanting to do that.
15:26
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I gave it a seven,
15:28
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I think, when I said I wanted to be a film director.
15:30
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Just Jurassic Park and E
15:34
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
.T. and all that,
15:35
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and realising that it was just this one guy.
15:37
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
This one guy was behind those films that I really loved as a kid.
15:40
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
And then I sort of grew from there.
15:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
But yeah,
15:45
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
King of Comedy,
15:47
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Barlanga,
15:49
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
the Spanish director,
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Roy Anderson,
15:52
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
and I was reading,
15:56
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
what's it called?
15:57
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
Confederacy of Dunces,
16:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
that book.
16:00
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
So yeah,
16:02
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
there's lots of different elements,
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I guess.
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
What was it like going to study in New York then?
16:07
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
How did that kind of,
16:08
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
what was that experience like,
16:09
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
I guess?
16:10
S… Speaker 1 (260610_0490)
Brilliant.
16:10
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It was brilliant to go over.
16:14
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I done my undergrad at Dundee.
16:15
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I wasn't really sure how did you get into filmmaking because
16:20
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I don't really think of the box maybe that much.
16:23
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I have to get a degree in something.
16:25
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
So anyway,
16:29
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
I applied, audaciously applied and then got in.
16:34
S… Speaker 2 (260610_0490)
It's been brilliant just being over there and obviously meeting my wife who's
