Highlighted works

In Bill Forsyth’s wry culture-clash comedy a Texas oil executive falls for the charms of the Scottish village he’s supposed to be buying up.

This comic tale of a girl-obsessed teenager in a Scottish New Town brought writer-director Bill Forsyth’s gently off-the-wall brand of character comedy to a wider audience.
