About the event

In Conversation: David Macpherson, creator of THE RIG | LandxSea Film Festival
What do oil rigs and Scotland’s first major film studio have in common? Join The Rig creator David Macpherson for a behind-the-scenes peek at bringing the high-stakes world of North Sea oil to global TV audiences.

In conversation with TV Foundation’s Impact Director Gemma Bradshaw, David shares clips from his work and insights into adapting industrial heritage for the screen: from his BAFTA-winning collaborators to the launch of First Stage Studios in Leith. The session will delve into questions of class, place, and representation in television, and how authentic working-class voices can shape stories that resonate across the UK and beyond.

This event ties directly to LandxSea’s Montrose roots, exploring the energy legacies that have shaped our coastlines and communities, and the power of screen storytelling to reimagine them.

This programme is part of the Montrose LandxSea Film Festival, a weekend filled with inspiring films and thought-provoking discussions about our planet. Learn more at landxsea.org
