Of the 9 narrative features in Screen Scotland's Cannes brochure:
4 have Scottish directors (44%).
Of 14 writers, 4 are Scottish (28%).
With producers, I couldn't ascertain all nationalities, but of the 23 I could identify, 3 are Scottish (13%).
Many are London-based as well.

New research from the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre exposed an overwhelming lack of diversity.

In film, TV and radio, just over 8% of creatives are from working class backgrounds - the lowest in a decade - while over 60% are middle or upper class.

I still can’t believe that MTV used the files for the Revenge of the Sith game to make Anakin Skywalker sing ‘Take Me Out’ by Frank Ferdinand to a crowd of Clone Troopers is real and aired on live TV.

But I’m so glad it exists, most 2005 thing I’ve ever seen.
