There's a crowd gathered at the bottom of one of Glasgow's steepest streets. Hardly surprising since Spiderman is weaving his way down the now-transformed New York sidewalk.

Hollywood star Glen Powell is in another part of the city centre working on his latest thriller, The Ghost Writer, while Joel Coen and Frances McDormand are scouting back streets for their Gothic mystery, Jack of Spades.

In the midst of these blockbusters, twin brothers Ben and Nathan McQuaid are fashioning their first feature film with a microbudget and a lot of help from other former students at the University of Stirling, which they themselves graduated from just weeks before.

Filmmaker Graham Hughes, who first encountered their work during a student competition, kick-started the project with the first offer of funding.

"It is unusual for graduates to take on a feature film straight away, but after watching their film I could tell they were hungry artists," he says.
