ABOUT

A dissertation project I have created with Niamh Cowling, Josh Coates, Sophie Bromley and Katharina Stemmer-Grabow during our last semester at the Film and Media course at Stirling University.

The documentary tells the story of ex-champion runner Graham Laing as he gets ready to run the Inverness Half Marathon. Now 63, Graham reflects upon the challenges of being an ageing athlete while dusting off throphies and bittersweet memories.

The short film was initially planned to be 12 minutes long, but the outbreak of COVID-19 prevented us from filming according to our original schedule, and editor Katharina Stemmer-Grabow created an edit with the available footage.
