Even £1 is better than nothing - I'm totally serious.
This is a poetic documentary about an old colonial character I met in the north Highlands of Scotland.
It's a portrait of an old man in decline rather than a straightforward polemic on veganism and hunting.
I accept some people will see me as a vegan turncoat but this is the way I make documentaries - I build up a relationship with the subject to see what makes them tick.
This film has been sitting in limbo thanks to the BBC saying they would broadcast the film and recently changing their mind. There are issues with the main character. Too hot to handle I guess.
What's the point of making documentaries if certain people are off limits? Isn't this what documentary is supposed to be all about?
I find Guy Wallace an intriguing character but that doesn't mean I agree with him. I even understand aspects of his lifestyle but again this does not mean that I validate these as ways I wish to live myself.
In 2005 I had an idea stolen from me by a BBC team working at White City in London. After making a film for them the year before it was a startling act of brazen audacity and a real slap in the face.
Various other actions over the years by production companies and similar bodies have led me to the decision to quit making documentaries. This is my last film.
The current climate with fake reality shows and staged documentaries says it all. I just don't fit in.
Anyway, I hope you like the film. It's not overwhelmingly pro-vegan or anti-hunting in its essential drive as I think that would have limited it.
It is what it is.
