YEAR ZERO FILMMAKING is the home of DIY feature-filmmaking collective TARTAN FEATURES and sister strand WHAAM! SHORTS.
2017-2018 was a Year Zero moment for Scottish Micro-Budgeted Feature Filmmaking. After 5 years of work from the Tartan Features collective a number of Scottish feature films, made on miniscule budgets finally infiltrated the mainstream by appearing on Television, Cinema and in High Street Stores…Independently.
Filmmakers involved with the collective received television commissions and even Hollywood success based on their work through Tartan Features. Other Scottish based filmmakers in that period would also find success with their own alternative industry productions. This was the Year DIY broke.
Year Zero is a snapshot celebration of what is at the forefront of this exciting movement currently taking on the mainstream industry to create an alternative route into filmmaking for all.
