Screening as part of the Scottish Music and Dance strand of The Red Shoes Festival.
In Scottish film star James McAvoy’s first film as a director, California Schemin’ follows an unlikely, but charismatic, rap duo from Dundee.
Based on a true story, Dundee duo, Billy Boyd (Samuel Bottomley) and Gavin Bain (Seamus Maclean Ross), have always dreamed of being rappers. However, there is one thing holding them back from being taken seriously – they’re Scottish!
The pair devise a cunning plan, and pretend to be from California, with fake accents and bleached hair. A riot of a film that closed Glasgow Film Festival this year.
Dir: James McAvoy
Cast: Samuel Bottomley, Seamus Maclean Ross, James McAvoy, James Corden, Lucy Halliday.
Production Year: 2026
