THE
Edinburgh film-maker who scooped a prize at Cannes
has been keeping hospital vigil with his partner,
who is expecting their first child. Irvine Allan,
44, declined an invitation to the festival because
partner Annie George was due to give birth.
His short film, Daddy’s Girl - in which Ms
George has a cameo role - was awarded the Prix
de Jury for fiction and he is tipped for Hollywood
success.
Before heading for the hospital he said: "We haven’t
asked whether it is a boy or a girl, but all the
omens point towards a daddy’s girl. It would
be the icing on the cake for us, but I really
don’t mind as long as the baby is healthy."
Despite his success, Allan has been forced to
sign on the dole.
