Apart from the occasional poem in response to events, I ceased to write poetry in any meaningful manner in the mid 1990s. I guess I ran out of anger and I now leave it to more able poets to remind the world of where it is going wrong.

The problem with the Scottish film industry is it's run by a bunch of egghead types up at the Film Commission, your Allan Shiach and so forth who are always telling you what your films gotta have. It's gotta have a certain number of local actors, it's gotta have cultural content, it's gotta have a decent script and so on. Well I've got by pretty nicely witho...

Anybody can make an arty, intellectual Red Road Ratcatcher flick that no bastard wants to see. I can do it. You give me a week with a camera, a couple of topless chicks and an open-topped sports car and a shitload of cash and I'll give you Out of Africa.

To date I have ten unpublished novels sitting in one of my filing cabinets.

Why I spent the best part of my twenties and early thirties writing novels that no-one seemed to want is still a mystery to me.

Anyone can make a story. I could make a story about you reading this and you could make up a story about how you have read this and that you could do much better than me.

Robbie Moffat
Born in Glasgow, educated Sir John Maxwell Primary and Shawlands Academy. Degree in English Language and Literature from Newcastle University. Poet, novelist, playwright, screenwriter - director of theatre and screen - movie producer.His first movie was 35mm shoestring budget Love The One You're With which was nominated for best Scottish Film 2000. Thereafter his output has been prolific with no-budget adventure films like the Winter Warrior, Bone Hunter and Axe Raiders, and contemporary features Hawk and the Dove, Finding Fortune, Rain Dogs and Cycle.Championed independent Scottish film production, he found himself drawn into battles over Scottish Screen's alleged nepotism and favoritism that, after a bloody political battle that at times Moffat fought seemingly single-handed, made him something of a local legend in Scottish film production circles. Moffat famously refused to abuse his position after the board of Scottish Screen were replaced, and continued with independent funding of his feature output that included a 35mm bio-pic of Robert Burns'- Red Rose.After making ten Scottish features in six years, Moffat moved his company to Pinewood Studios with his coproducer Mairi Sutherland,and made a further eighteen feature films.With his fighting spirit and his thinking mind, Moffat has a thriving career as a producer. We expect to see a lot more of his work in the coming years.
