Claire nominated for a Bafta!
I got home the other day to find Claire on the phone looking very cheery. Turns out it was Bafta Scotland on the phone saying she had been nominated for best director in the Bafta new talent awards for Echo Wall. Both of us were fairly dumfounded by this news to say the least.
It’s brilliant though that the quality and commitment of Claire’s work on Echo Wall has been recognised at such a high level. Claire has been creative all the time I’ve known her. But with Echo Wall she did what most others wouldn’t manage, she took it to another level by shooting footage that was extremely arduous and ultimately frightening to get, not to mention a year of long days and nights of work and all our savings and earnings to turn it into a finished film. I’m really pleased for her.
So next month the kilt will be coming out for the Bafta ceremony in Glasgow!
That's brilliant, congratulations Claire! Best of luck for the night, hopefully you'll be coming home with something to go on the mantelshelf...

Congrats....as a long time collector of climbing films I was very impressed by the cinematography and editing in Echo Wall; it was professional and polished but also personal and resonated a certain familiarity that I think highlighted Claire's personal relationship with the material. I'm not surprised in the slightest to hear that it has been recognized for its excellence.
