The World Stone Skimming Championships are held on the tiny west coast island of Easdale. But tensions are mounting between the small island community and skimmers whose abilities have far outgrown the limitations of the 63 metre arena. Easdale, we can relate. If the championships get any more popular, we hear Saudi Arabia is interested in hosting 🥲
Charming, funny and hugely entertaining: Sink or Skim is one of our very favourite films of the year. Don’t miss it. Tickets in bio!

This Skimming world has been rocked 🪨 NY Times, BBC News, The Daily Mail, ITV news, STV, The telegraph… All splashing in on the scandal
Have to admit we saw it unfold with our own eyes and the organisers made the right decision.
BUT let’s not forget the real story of Lucy Wood becoming the 6 time World Champion!!!! 🥏💦🌊🏆
I have pun-fatigued now but give us your best shot…

Finally, for all you fans and tossers, ’Sink or Skim’ is now free to watch online!! 🤯🥏🌊🪨
As the head of BBC Scotland once said: “Not a subject many channels would have commissioned,” but it was “a beautifully made piece… But by the end of it the same people were going ‘That was really good”. 📺❤️

I’ve been wanting to announce this for a while… ‘Have You Seen The Beast?’ Has been shortlisted for the Sony Future Film Award 2025, which means I’m invited to take place in the major film program Los Angeles 🎥😎🎬🐈⬛☎️!
Not gonna lie it came as a surprise! The film has been a slow burner to put it politely, and then to learn there were 11,750 internal submissions makes it even more unbelievable. Congratulations to all the crew involved 🥳!:
