Hero’s Praise for Filmmaker
June 22, 2008
AN AMATEUR filmmaker from north Edinburgh has won high praise from one of his heroes.
Muirhouse-based Garry Fraser, 28, was sitting outside the Filmhouse on Lothian Road advertising his latest production when acclaimed filmmaker Shane Meadows approached him.
The pair went for a drink in a local pub, where Meadows told Mr Fraser, a Telford College student, that he had a bright future after watching one of his productions.
The filmmaker said: “Is this unbelievable or what? He said I was a good writer and director.”
