Starcache
Starcache is a comedy horror feature film which was filmed in central Scotland. It is based on geocaching where people search for hidden items, often in wooded areas. In the film, cachers are attending a weekend event where they are finding cleverly constructed caches as well as searching for a million dollar cache, but there seems to be a murderer intent on spoiling their plans.

Douglas Sannachan first appeared on film as Simmy in Bill Forsyth's first feature film 'That Sinking Feeling'. He then went on to play Billy the window cleaner in 'Gregory's Girl' and also appeared in 'Comfort and Joy'. In television he has had a number of parts including Jimmy Petrie, the murderer in the first 'Taggart - Murder in Season', Nolan, the Sauna Manager in 'Rebus - Resurrection Men' and Fergus, the wannabe rock star in 'Dramarama - Waiting for Elvis'. He has had many parts on stage over the years including a number of pantomimes. More recently he has appeared in feature films such as 'Cleek', 'Revenge' and 'Whatever Happened to Harry Fish'. Starcache is his first feature film as writer director.
After working as an actor on many film sets I thought I would make the leap to working behind the camera. I started writing Starcache in 2013 and was very happy to finally complete the film in 2018. Having worked for so long as an actor I was very lucky to be able to call on expierenced actors and technical professionals to contribute their time to the making of the film. It certainly wouldn't be where it is today without them. I hope that you enjoy the film and you see something of the quirkiness in it that Bill Forsyth instilled in his films over thirty years ago.
