Angus filmmakers Lisa Nicoll and Mikey Murray at the screening of Natalie at the DCA.
A pair of Angus filmmakers showed off their latest short film featuring a Scottish Game of Thrones star at Dundee Contemporary Arts at the weekend.
Natalie was filmed in Carnoustie, St Vigeans Church in Arbroath and in Auchmithie’s old school house and village hall in March last year.
It stars Kate Dickie, who has previously appeared in Red Road, Prometheus and as Lysa Arryn in Game of Thrones. She plays a person who has undergone a sex change who returns to her hometown for her father’s funeral.
The 15-minute film is directed by Mikey Murray and produced by Lisa Nicoll who both grew up in Kingennie, and will now be entered into film festivals across the world.
Many extras from the Tayside area appeared in the film after an appeal in the pages of The Courier.
Lisa said: “We were overwhelmed at the support from the Angus community who ultimately made their film possible.
“Angus locals showed great generosity supporting the film by supplying beds for cast and crew.”
“After a call out in The Courier over 70 people applied to be extras with 30 being chosen to take part in filming over two days. The extras range from 19 years old to 83.”
