Born in Singapore, Morag grew up on the east coast of Scotland. She studied sculpture then Film and TV before turning her hand to directing.

In 1998, she made 'Home', a short film for the Short and Curlies strand for Channel 4. The film was recieved well and went on to win a BAFTA and 15 international awards.

"I became a director by accident, in the sense that I didn't really believe that I could end up being one, but after my first experience directing I was hooked and couldn't stop wanting to do it."

She directed commercials for Saatchi and Saatchi, and promos as well as four short films. She lives in hope that one day she and writer Colin McLaren will get to make a feature film together.

Buried is Morag's World Productions debut. "If I'm honest I didn't think I would get [Buried] as thee were far more experienced people going for the job than me."

"I had a particular passion for the script that I had been given to read as I thought it was tremendously well-written, having subleties and an intensity that gave it a unique and very human perspective.

'To me the programmes have a political significance which I am very proud to be a part of."
