HAWK is a visually powerful story set in a timeless past in the deep Welsh countryside and narrated to the audience by Rowan as an older man. The themes of faith, religion and heroism all have a strong influence on Rowan's story. Through him we enter a unique world and are taken on an extraordinary journey from guilt to redemption, from childhood to death.

The wilderness is a key character in Hawk and the location is a vital ingredient in the storytelling. The Snowdonia hills offer a breathtaking, rugged backdrop, with a strong sense of forgotten history – perfectly suited to the themes of Hawk. Audiences will be fascinated by the primitive life-style, Welsh folklore and the raw experience of living off what nature can provide.

The tone of HAWK is a balance of grittiness, enchantment, and realistic fantasy. It will be about suggesting what lies in the shadows, and what magical possibilities lurk in the wild mountains.
