Billy Sangster is in line for BAFTA after role in We Are Northern Lights Sangster was one of the stars of Scotland's first mass participation, crowdsourced documentary We Are Northern Lights, which has been nominated for a BAFTA prize. And, even now, eight months after the film was premièred, to critical acclaim, at the Glasgow Film Festival, Sangster - who now works in Aberdeen - can hardly believe the way in which he burst into the spotlight. He told STV: "I used my phone to post some daft wee videos and my pals said I should put one of them forward for We Are Northern Lights. So I sent it away, but I was thinking I would probably hear nothing more about it. But, what do you know, they liked it, included it, people seem to like it, and I am totally chuffed by the whole thing. Sangster recognises he is up against stiff competition at the BAFTAs, but he is just happy to be in the running. He said: "The film being given BAFTA Scotland recognition with this nomination must surely be the icing on the cake. Every one of the 121 co-directors of the piece will be beaming with pride right now. I know that our small band of contributors from the north-east of Scotland certainly are. Who ever thought that an electrician from Peterhead would ever be part of a BAFTA award? How apt that 'the people's movie' be nominated in the BAFTA Scotland Audience Award, where the people of Scotland are, themselves, allowed to vote. Whether we can pull off the unthinkable and actually win or not, I personally am already delighted in everything this wee project has so far achieved. Members of the public can vote online for their favourite film at Cineworld from October 20.
