Synopsis/Details
A dark comedy / mystery, set mostly in a Sussex forest in modern day England, with a small yet colourful cast, inspired by actual legends and interwoven with the atmospheric poetry of Percy Shelley and William Blake who once lived in the area.
A character study of a rambunctious man who struggles to fit into society, a lost soul with a combative, yet curious nature and an acerbic wit, seeking his purpose in life. With additional themes of unlikely friendships, folklore, the failings of social welfare, and escaping the ‘system’.
Though the protagonist is currently English, it would be feasible for him to be a North American who came to live in England as a teen (for example). Whereby giving the film more international appeal. Many Americans are very passionate about exploring their British / European lineage so there’s certainly a market to be tapped into there.
