We extend a heartfelt thank you to anyone who decides to contribute, no matter how big or how small. Sometimes you need more than just passion to make projects like this a reality and with your help we can achieve something captivating which exhibits the beauty of the rural Scottish Highlands.
The film is about a boy who, after learning of the death of his father whom he never knew, travels to the rural Scottish countryside to see where he lived and learn about him in the hope that it will bring him some kind of closure. While there he discovers that his father is a far different man to the one his mother warned him about which sends him on a very emotional and lonely journey of self-discovery as he comes to terms with a whole range of conflicting emotions. Confused and alone the boy begins to project his inner turmoil onto a lone, watchful stag which visits the cottage his father lived in.
The majority of our film will be shot on the stunning Conaglen Estate just outside Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. With breathtaking views of mountains and woodland, Conaglen Estate encapsulates the essence of the Highland landscape.
We are also working closely with the Scottish Deer Centre in Fife which is home to 14 species of deer from all around the world. Here we will capture some of the vital footage needed to tell our story.
We are shooting this project on the industry leading Arri Alexa camera which has been used to shoot recent big budget blockbusters such as 007: Skyfall, Life of Pi, Gangster Squad and many more. We are priviliged to have access to such high quality equipment and have recruited a cinematographer who can use it to its full potential.
Dear Gordon
I was was present at your advance premiere of the film ‘Bare’. I thought it was a very well done project, congratulations on getting it finished. I just wanted to point you towards my website http://www.jimmyturner.net. There are screenplay synopses of all my short films and my first feature. There is also an acting page showcasing projects that I have worked on as an actor (can I send you my acting CV?). I understand that you are some way with the film ‘La Chasse’ but if you feel that I may be suitable for a project in the future or are interested in seeing examples of my screenplays please do not hesitate to let me know. I recently graduated with an MA in Screenwriting at Napier University.
I am also contributing 5 pounds to your film ‘La Chasse’. Good luck on the project.
Kind Regards

Spent much of my childhood in Lochaber area at Roshven,
Locailort. I have brought out a Cd of music last year which has been played on BBC radio and local stations includes a lovely slow air3/4 highland slow march Eillean na Gullaine for small island off Roshven. I think it would make a lovely film piece and is recorded with world reknowned Chris newman on guitar who teaches on the folk degree course and has recorded with Phil and Ally and Stefan Grapelli, also Scottish champion accordionist Gary Forrest. I will gladly send you a copy of the album. If you felt you could play a wee bit of it as background to the film, thn I would be happy to make a contribution of say £500. How does thuis sound?
Hi Roddy,
Thanks for getting in touch, this sounds really interesting.
It’s great timing you’ve gotten in touch actually. If you’re happy to contribute £500 this would make you an executive producer of the film and I would discuss with you when your music was brought in and how it was used and what section of your piece was used. I have a scene in mind which I’m re-writing just now, perhaps we can discuss on the phone. What’s your number?
You can send the album here:
