I think it's interesting that three versions of TLV have been made and yet still don't seem to quite hit the mark for folks, going off your comments on the post + Tumblr!

I just...have this thing about Scottish stories continually being told by non-Scottish folks and Scottish culture being co-opted by non-Scottish folks and Scottish folks being sexualized by non-Scottish folks such that I'm like "ONLY A SCOTTISH WOMAN CAN DIRECT THIS ACTUALLY!!!" even though Brigadoon isn't *strictly* a Scottish story in that it's not part of the heritage. It's *about* Scottish folks though, which I think means it should be put in the hand of a Scot and a woman (like, on principle).
