A shamanic journey is not the product of logical reasoning, conscious manipulation, or a thought-driven endeavour. It is all about ‘primeval’ or primary material – which my ‘reason’ has helped me to adapt and arrange into a screenplay.

And just as the ‘fugitive stag’ is the result of non-rational impulses and spontaneous intuitions, taking it to the next level within the film industry, will not be via a logical, calculated, traditional ‘cause and effect’ route.

I may be a novice screenwriter, but my vision for the ‘fugitive stag’ demands nothing less than the best and ‘right’ director, and producer, to collaborate with.

To paraphrase William Blake: I cannot do otherwise; it is out of my power!
