Lynda Myles (British producer)

[2] On September 4, 1967, Myles and her then boyfriend, David Will, wrote a letter to the editor of The Scotsman newspaper that was critical of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

The students were invited to work with festival director Murray Grigor, which they did, with great impact, as their focus was on auteurs like Samuel Fuller and other influential American New Wave filmmakers.

[4] In 1979, together with Michael Pye, Lynda Myles coined the term 'the movie brats' which came to define a new generation of American film-makers, nurtured by watching and studying popular films themselves rather than by theatre or industry apprenticeship.

She continued to work as an independent producer, making the second and third films in The Barrytown Trilogy, The Snapper and The Van.

Myles co-produced Chen Kaige's 2002 film, Killing Me Softly, for the Montecito Picture Company.
