'We felt like we were talking to Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey.'
We caught up with the McQuaid brothers as they launch their first feature film, Welcome To G-Town, to chat about horror inspiration, low-budget filmmaking and premiering on home turf at @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social.
Ben and Nathan McQuaid are film-makers from Scotland.
Over at The List Magazine, I was on Glasgow Film Festival duty and interviewed top up-and coming talents in the form of the brothers McQuaid. Their movie Welcome To G-Town is about aliens taking over Scotland a local version of Invasion of the Boaby Snatchers. Link below

Two girls sit on the floor looking at an art book, behind them are captions projected that read " 'cmon think about it.' 'Di, that's stupid.'
Two girls hug, they are lit in blue tinted lighting.
Two girls sit on a table, they look contemplative, and behind them there is the projection of rain on a window. The projected captions read " 'should we be doing something right now?' 'We're takin' out.' 'Oh yeah. Nice.' "
A girl sits on the floor looking through an art sketch book, there is a mans face painted on one of the pages. In the background another girl is talking to her.
