Bill Forsyth (born July 29, 1946, Glasgow) is a Scottish film director and writer, noted for his commitment to national film-making. Forsyth first came to attention with a low-budget film, "That Sinking Feeling", made with youth theatre actors and featuring a cameo appearance by the Edinburgh gallery owner Richard Demarco.
