Dozens of young screen talents are in the running for the Bafta Scotland awards for up and coming film makers.
Thirty six nominations have been selected across 12 categories.
The winners will be unveiled at an awards ceremony on 14 April and will be hosted by author, broadcaster and journalist, Muriel Gray.
In the best female acting performance short list are Lily Graham, Sarah Miele and Claire Sheerin, while in the male acting short list are Daniel Cameron, Christopher Martin and Nathan McHallam.

The winners from each category will go on to compete for the Best New Work award.
It was won last year by BAFTA Scholarship recipient, Steven Cameron Ferguson, for his work on the short film, Sick.
Among last year’s winners was 12-year-old Hannah Ord, who won the Actress award for her role in short film Last Night in Edinburgh, while the Entertainment award was given to The Wee ‘Hings, a short film commissioned by the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony that was screened to more than 40,000 people at Celtic Park before the Games began.
Jude MacLaverty, director of BAFTA Scotland, said: "Year upon year, the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Awards is inundated with spectacular work from new and emerging practitioners from across Scotland and this year was no different.
"As always, BAFTA Scotland is dedicated to nurturing the overwhelming level of talent throughout the country and this ceremony is a chance for our nominees to showcase their incredible work to industry bodies.
"We’re excited to be celebrating at a new venue this April and look forward to unveiling our 2016 winners."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
