That's a wrap on AN T-EILEAN / THE ISLAND!!!

It's been nine weeks since we began shooting this Hogmanay set family crime drama, with five weeks for the cast and crew in Lewis & Harris and four weeks in Glasgow on location and at Nightsky Studios. It’s not been easy, but it has been majestic, wild, elemental and always an adventurous blast!

Huge thanks and congrats to our creator and writer Nick Osborne, co-writer Patsi Mackenzie, our amazing and generous cast and our incredible and creative crew. Everyone absolutely raised their game and played their important part!

Hugest thanks also to MG ALBA BBC ALBA, Screen Scotland and All3media international.

So many brilliant creative and inventive people, distributors and producers flew in from around the world to 2023. It has grown and become a must attend event. Well done to the whole C21Media team!

We had some super meetings with new and old partners, shared some lovely meals and made some exciting new relationships.

Ultimately it was healthy to explore the current state of our industry, i.e. the commissioning and financing challenges, downturn in ads, AI rapid uptake, post strikes situation and so much more with our fellow, empathetic producing travellers!

There are often opportunities in a downturn so we need to be nimble, inventive and help solve the commissioners and distributors' challenges with partnerships and co-productions.

We are definitely signing up for more AI training and fast!
