THURSDAY 29 MAY
We open with a gorgeous panel chat (and welcome glass of fizz!) from stars and creators of the two most iconic Glasgow series sharing their picks of the One Minute Pilots in conversation with Laura Boyd. It's going to be a fab night of celebrating Glasgow talent and storytelling you won't want to miss!!

FRIDAY 30 MAY
The opening party is invite only. I have a couple of guest list places left if you email me FAST!

SATURDAY 31 MAY
I'm so proud to be hosting this screening and Q&A on Concrete Jungle, a real success story of Scottish indie TV. Anton created, self funded and self produced this pilot which has been in the top ten on the STV Player for over two months. He'll be in conversation with STV's Jonathon Tait.

SUNDAY 1 JUNE
Less than a week ago, I challenged six up and coming writers to come up with a scene for two household name Scottish actors. They could have been intimidated. They could have panicked at the quick turnaround. Equally, the actors could have baulked at committing to a scene that didn't exist yet. Instead they all rose to the challenge and are collaborating on some absolutely thrilling scenes as we speak. They will be performed live at BAad, shot live by Michael Hines and broadcast to viewing parties around the world. It's going to be unpredictable, exciting and a powerful testament to the ambition and talent of Scottish creatives. Make sure you are a part of it!
