girl-hareThe new film will work on a number of levels: current time, flashbacks and dreams. For the dreams I’ve been exploring Celtic myths and characters from Irish & Celtic history and traditions. One such story is the hare and the hunter.

In this story a hunter shoots at a hare wounding it. The hare runs off and the hunter follows it into a cave. In the cave the hunter finds a beautiful girl on a throne with a wound in the same place as the hare.

This story, a bit elaborated upon, will be part of a flashback (a mother reading a story book to her son), part of a dream by the grown son and part of the current time of the story.

Dianne is creating the actual book that the mother will be reading. A rough sketch of the girl and the hare are on the right.
