How do you hold a get out the vote rally during a pandemic with an array of Scottish celebrity voices and political figures located all over Scotland and the world?
Well, on Sunday May 2nd 2021 we did exactly that. I wrote, directed, produced and booked the online Get Out The Vote Rally to remind SNP supporters to vote and to encourage their friends to do the same.
The event was hosted by Alan Cumming and Mhairi Black MP, and featured Brian Cox, Elaine C. Smith, Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), Val McDermid, Iona Fyfe and more.
The event also included a major exclusive. The actor Martin Compston backed the SNP on the same night as the season finale of Line of Duty, the UK's most-watched drama series of the century.
At the Scottish election in 2021, 4,280,785 registered to vote, the highest ever for a Scottish parliamentary election. 182, 323 additional voters when compared with the Scottish election in 2016.
