Hamish is a storyteller who enjoys spending his time not far from a badger’s burrow or a cow pat. He grew up surrounded by the countryside, it has left an imprint affecting the direction of his work which, at times, critiques the increasingly digitized environment that festers around him.  

After spending an evening scrolling endlessly on his mobile phone, flooding my brain with other people’s lives, Hamish decided to walk to his great Aunt’s house. Cat Had His Thumb is a film about a visit to my great Aunt, documenting memories and the landscape that surrounds her.
