🎬 Filming has wrapped on Loch nam Madadh/Wolf Bay, a new short-form horror drama from BBC Scotland and BBC ALBA. The series will join BBC Scotland’s digital first slate, which includes award-winning dramas such as Float and Dog Days. BBC ALBA’s YouTube platform will carry the bite-sized instalments in full, building digital engagement with Gaelic content. This adrenaline-filled, off-kilter drama blends dark humour, island identity and slow burn suspense in a uniquely Scottish story about homecomings — the kind you don’t always survive. Gavin Smith, commissioning editor, scripted at BBC Scotland said: “We are committed to providing pipelines for talent both in front of and behind the camera whilst at the same time creating content that engages audiences where they are watching. We’re delighted to add Wolf Bay to our expanding list of short-form drama - it marks a first for us leaning into the horror genre and is a quirky tale full of jump scare moments to thrill the audience.” Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eT7kftEC
