From foster child to foster carer, high-school dropout to university graduate, and Glasgow’s back streets to Hollywood sets, Scott Kyle’s journey is anything but ordinary.

It’s Not Where You Start is a raw, heartfelt story about resilience, second chances, and refusing to let your beginnings define your future. Award-winning actor and producer Scott Kyle (Outlander, Kajaki, The Angels’ Share, Billy & Tim) takes audiences through the twists, setbacks, and unexpected opportunities that shaped his life, including the full-circle return of Billy & Tim and a near-miss with working alongside Harrison Ford.

Blending intimate storytelling with striking animations, this powerful new show reminds us that the most unlikely lives can make the most unforgettable stories.

 

Awards include two Best Animation Awards and two Best Voice Over Awards (West Lothian Film Festival, 2024 & 2025).

Praise for the show:

“A really well-told TED Talk with beautiful animations… such an engaging, humble and honest performer.” — Cora Bissett

“An amazing story and well worth your time… superb animations.” — Nicola McCartney
