An exhilarating story about the last bagpipe on earth and the unlikely fellow who is tasked to take care of it.

The 20 minute long movie makes you wish for more. The excellent opening minutes seems like the start of a 200 million dollar Hollywood blockbuster.

Iain Forbes is certainly talented, and I can't wait for him to make feature films. "The Last Piper" has already been picked up by many film festivals, all over the world, so opportunities for bigger projects are probably coming.

The only negative thing I have to say about "The Last Piper" is that I found the main villain a bit annoying.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
