A TARBOLTON film maker is shooting his first feature length film, Love my way in a Northern Town, in Ayr.

Kris Scott, Director, studied in Ayrshire at HNC level Media Analysis and Production which allowed him an opportunity to learn directing, writing, camera work and editing.

His previous credits include mainly YouTube shorts which currently range from a handful of views to more than 2,000. 

Love my way in a Northern Town follows Rosanna, a 17-year-old brought up in a middle to high class family. Her parents made their money in the mining industry which is now beginning to decline with the rise of Thatcherism.

As an English girl trying to fit into Scottish society, Rosanna struggles when she falls in love with a boy from a working class family. As they bond over their shared taste of music, they realise they’re more similar than they thought in 1980’s Glasgow.

Producer Heather Brown said: “We are beginning to film it right now. We have been fundraising and this will raise money for movie. This will be a feature length movie which means it will last for 90 minutes. 

“Everyone who is involved is from Ayr and the surrounding areas. There are quite a few case members helping us from the town. This is Kris’ first full length film and my second.”

Heather, who is originally from Kilmarnock, is an Edinburgh based graduate of the Brighton Film School, and has been heavily involved in low budget filmmaking for the past 10 years.

Her previous credits include ‘Happiest Day’, which currently boasts over 455k views online, and ‘A Common Connection’, which received a standing ovation at the Sofia International Film Festival last year.

Kris’ first calling in film was in 2014 when he studied drama and got his first acting job on Waterloo Road. 

This led to a feature part on Outlander as Lallybroch Tenant Shaun (One of the survivors of the Battle of Prestonpans). His passion lies in film and TV, behind the camera or in front of it.

The crew are hoping their feature will be published on Amazon Prime. To donate see www.indiegogo.com/projects/love-my-way-in-a-northern-town-film#/
