This film began when it was joked that Mhairi should make a film (having been in media club for 3 years and yet never having made her own film). And somehow, she pulled it off!

All of the background sets were designed from scratch by Jason and here are some shots of the spaceship's bridge and Spacebot's quarters:

The props budget for the entire Screenplay festival took a big hit when Harry bought the gold material for the excellent shiny costumes.

We're sorry, very sorry. You have to understand - this film was just a big mistake waiting to happen... four friends trapped on Mousa; they all die horrifically in a Final Destination-esque style. At least their dead now, no chance for a sequel!

Fun facts

We woke up at 3am to film Masks. After this we had to finish Stallion Head and then went to St Ninian's (and later Mousa) to make this film. You have to understand how tired we were, explaining the poor quality

This film began with the plot premise of aliens using Mousa Broch as a base for their evil activities - and a war with trowies and other such thing happening. Unfortunately (or luckily) we didn't have time. :(

Masks

A short film we made for Screenplay 2008. The film examines the destruction of identity that can result from drug misuse.

Fun Facts!

We were put on ITV because of this, though it was a bit rubbish cause they twisted everything we meant and wanted to say into "Shetland has a drug problem". Darn!

To get the street empty, we all stayed at Lorcan's house then went out on the street at 3am. After filming this we had to go and film some of Stallion Head, Trapped on Mousa and "The Running Film". It was quite a painful day!

Amanda Palmer (the singer and piano player in the song) mentioned this in her blog. She said:
