David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Quality Skandi Noir set in Harris? Yeah, on the evidence of the first episode I saw tonight that just might be what Black Camel + BBC ALBA/MG ALBA have delivered in An t-Eilean (The Island). Lots of intrigue in Ep1, good acting all round, ditto script, direction, post and music. Airs from the 14th 120
David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Eight A9 trips in two weeks. It's a road I've spent almost 35 years driving up and down. Today was the first time I took the time to visit Ruthven Barracks... 101
David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Chap in the middle with the wee dog is my great great grandfather in Egypt in 1917. Second image was his postcard home at new year. He was a blacksmith in the army, and seems to have been in an artillery unit. Don't know if the dog made it back to Aberdeen (where that branch of the family is from). 000
David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Went to Dundee & the DCA today with the remarkable @fi-milligan-rennie.bsky.social to meet 100+ new filmakers from Blackness + Longhaugh primaries. All part of Screen Scotland's work to deliver "film + screen" as an expressive arts subject in Scottish schools. Lots of talent, and a full cinema! 131
David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Here's a good, pre Christmas story from Screen Scotland's Instagram account, about Parker Dawes (still in school, showing considerable promise) and his first TV commission - backed by MG Alba, BBC Alba, the EBU and Screen Scotland.... www.instagram.com/p/DDZ69AsqRl... 144

David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Got to see Ep 1 of series 2 of @amazonprimevideos.bsky.social The Rig, written by @macpherzone.bsky.social today in Edinburgh, where the whole series was filmed. A big step up from the excellent 1st series. Instantly into the action, and the evolving mega story David has created. Drops Jan 2, 2025 162
David Smith @davidsmithanddws.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I see this painting every morning, it's in our kitchen, and I love it. The colours, the individual shops, the whole feel for a time and place. Artist is David Toner, from Glasgow I believe, and sadly no longer with us... 110
