THE MATRIX ET AL

Alastair's country is the west coast of North America. By that I mean it expands from the northern border of British Columbia to the southern border of California. This forms the Western Frontier of the (North American) Film Industry.

Our Man in Vancouver, aka One Cool Dude, has been doing Great Things in this country.

Like his dad it was: Go West Young Man! That was 9 years ago.

Alastair on the shores of Loch Lomond

This photo was taken exactly 2 years ago (Heavens! It hasn't been!) at Mairi and John's wedding.

Well this week he has taken the High Road. Alastair is moving into a new job and we are thrilled for him. The official announcement of his new appointment here !!!!


Described as "a veteran", the Vancouver Film School says that his appointment marks "the beginning of an exciting new era ..."


Are you impressed? (Remember, this is Scotland!) "Ach, I kent his faither* " !

Well, we all know he's wonderful and, anyhow, what are sons for if one cannot brag about them a bit?!

* The Scots Dictionary: I kent his faither is a derogatory phrase used to remind those who have achieved success (especially if achieved away from Scotland) that they are no better than anyone else.
