The cast and crew of the cult Scottish film Small Faces were reunited as the Glasgow Film Festival drew to a close.
The film - made in 1996, just ahead of Trainspotting - launched the careers of a number of actors including Joe McFadden, Kevin McKidd and Laura Fraser.
It was a personal film for brothers Gillies and Billy Mackinnon. And one they felt had never been made before.
"The closest were the dramas of Peter Mcdougall but that was the 70s and Greenock," says Gillies.
So they started writing, Gillies in LA and Billy in Australia, swapping initial ideas by fax.
