He said: "Forty years ago I was just up here as an art student, living off pakora and lager for breakfast."It was an act of kindness and confidence that baffled me and much of the industry to this day, but I wouldn't be here without him and nor would a lot of others."The ceremony celebrating Scottish film also saw Neil Forsyth's thriller series Guilt receive awards for the television script and for the writer/creator categories.
