Carys could no longer ignore the call of her Scottish roots, and so made the journey north to study a Masters in Film, Exhibition and Curation at the University of Edinburgh (following in fabulous, and large footsteps). Diving head first into the thriving film festival scene in Edinburgh, whilst also making time for plenty of whisky drinking and vegetarian haggis consumption, Carys has been involved in events and projects that have introduced her to filmmakers, and curators from all over the world.
