My Old School
The astonishing true story of Scotland's most notorious imposter. It's 1993 and 16 year old Brandon is the new kid in school. Soon he is top of the class, acing exams and even taking the lead in the school musical. He's the model pupil, until he's unmasked. What followed over the next two years would become the stuff of legends. Featuring the talents of Alan Cumming to bring the tale to life, MY OLD SCHOOL offers more than one surprise along the way.
Critic Reviews:
- " The film achieves a Rashomon-like complexity of viewpoint, although it’s a lot funnier than Kurosawa’s classic film. It’s partly the Scottish sense of humour, so rich in its understanding of human frailty. " – Paul Byrnes (Sydney Morning Herald)
- " McLeod reveals some astonishing discrepancies between how the former classmates collectively remember events – and what actually happened. " – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)
- " This documentary will have you shocked, stunned and sniggering like you used to at the back of the classroom. My Old School gets top marks. A class act. " – Dallas King (Outtake Mag)
