"The Hunted", 
Original Screenplay, 2013


SHORT SYNOPSIS:
"The Hunted" - Fantasy/Thriller "In a medieval world, a man named Mendell moves his wife and son to a new farm beneath the shadow of a haunted mountain. One morning he wakes from a night of heavy drinking to find his family missing - and all he can recall are the fragmented memories of a horrible creature's attack in the dark. Convinced that they've been taken by the beast, Mendell embarks on a quest to save them, entering the dense jungles and maze-like gorges that surround the mountain. Right at the start he rescues a young boy who is lost in the gorge and they are forced to carry on together. The boy doesn't believe the stories of the monster and he begins to fear more and more that Mendell has invented the story to avoid a more horrible truth - that Mendell himself has murdered his own family. The boy fears for his life and all the while the two draw closer and closer to the supposed lair of the beast, and the terrible truth that awaits them..."
