  • David Emmanuel Noel

As part of Occhi Magazine's ongoing interviews and features with artists across the creative disciplines. Occhi is particularly keen to showcase the work of emergent and successful independent filmmakers across the globe. This includes the work of Uisdean Murray, an award-winning filmmaker from The Outer Hebrides of Scotland. He’s been making independent films and music videos for nearly 20 years. His work includes the award-winning Gaelic language short film Siubhlachan (The Traveller) which was developed into a half-hour drama for BBC ALBA, the macabre Jemima Trilogy, and the award-winning supernatural comedy web series Demonologist For Hire. Uisdean’s most recent film project titled ‘Mara: The Seal Wife’ (2021) features at the 2022 FirstGlance Film festival. We had the opportunity to speak to him about his work and independent filmmaking.
