00:00Seaforth is a tension-filled folk-horror short film based on the legend of the Bran Seer,

00:15a character from Scottish mythology.

00:28As the story goes, the young Cunnach Or, as he was known then, one day stumbles on a seeing

00:32stone which gives him the ability to see into the future. Cursed with second sight, he is

00:39forced to suffer the knowledge of every detail of his life and death.

00:45Our story is set in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, and this Gaelic-language film will

00:49follow Lady Seaforth, the Laird's wife, who summons the local Seer to answer questions

00:54about her husband's infidelity. This culminates in a fraught interrogation, and her quest

01:01for the truth leads to broken promises, a struggle for power, and eventually a burning

01:07body in a whisky barrel.

01:09We see this film as an opportunity to celebrate our rich culture of storytelling by breathing

01:15new life into these fabled characters, and with your help we can bring this vision to

01:20the screen. You can support us by selecting one of the many exciting rewards available

01:25on our Kickstarter page. These range from on-screen credits to film posters, premiere

01:31screenings or even your very own seeing stone.

01:35The money we're raising will go towards essential production costs such as crew wages and expenses,

01:40travel and accommodation, production design, costumes, hair, makeup, locations and more.
