![]() ![]() What’s great, and gives me hope for the future of Scottish film making, is that most of the cast and crew are Scottish. Matt Palmer’s directorial debut Calibre is one of that kind, with the ubiquitous Netflix producing the film. Securing financing for a feature film in Scotland is difficult most have to look elsewhere for a company big enough to do the job. The humble genre of the thriller is not one you would associate that’s where Calibre comes in. There are two films everyone remembers when discussing my homeland, Scotland Mel Gibson’s historically inaccurate but entertaining Braveheart, and Danny Boyle’s masterful junkie odyssey Trainspotting – two films that could not be more oppositional in their approach. Cast: Jack Lowden, Martin McCann, Tony Curran, Ian Pirie, George Anton, Kate Bracken, Therese Bradley, Joe Cassidy, Cameron Jack, Kitty Lovett, Cal MacAninch
