Just practical effects, buckets of fake blood, and long cold nights in the Scottish woods.
No studio safety net. No CGI.
And that was just the script writing process.

If I had a penny for every time someone asked if we were on BBC Scotland - I'd have a tenner.

So please keep asking, I love talking about it ;)

What would you ask a horror director?
I asked Sean Wilkie Director of the Bench about what he's working on right now.
He said some really big words that I didn't understand and then he bought me a beer.

10/5 stars - would totally interview him again.
