Bill Forsyth

Bill Forsyth was born in 1946 in Glasgow, in the Whiteinch district, and at seventeen, answering an advertisement, joined a small documentary film company, where he learned the trade by shooting short films. He then worked with the Glasgow youth theatre company, and it was with these teenagers that he made his first feature film, in 1979, with almost no money. He directed eight in twenty years, the last in 1999, and has not made a film since.
