Author and Screenwriter Claire Duffy is bringing TV home to Glasgow!

It's time for Scottish creatives to take back control and come together to change the way the TV and film industry is heading and how it is commissioned. Throughout the episode Claire talks to Scotland's Women about how her career and every job and experience she has had in her life, was preparing her for this moment. To launch a TV festival like no other, right here in Glasgow.

Claire recalls her experiences on living abroad and how she has overcome imposter syndrome. Being a screenwriter in the TV industry, Claire has had her fair amount of rejection, she has had to deal with being told her ideas are just not good enough and would it be better told if it was based in London? And Scottish stories don't sell on the big screen.But Claire refuses to believe that audiences don't like stories from Scotland, there is more to Scotland than wearing a kilt she says.

The Glasgow TV festival will be launching in May 29th - June 1st 2025, and its time for Scottish creatives to tell Scottish stories their way.

Scottish creatives are coming together and taking the stories to the people that matter, and that's the audience. Audience's from Glasgow and beyond will be able to watch live script reads and will be able to decide if this is someone they would like to watch more of.
