Tony & The Bull

There seems to be peace in living a reclusive life, which Tony Trewin has been doing for quite some time now. Yet, it wasn't always this peaceful. Tony has seen some terrible setbacks in his life due to a horrific tragedy that no one should ever have to endure. After this tragedy, Tony was at a crossroads in his life. Perhaps the tragedy was too much to bare, because soon after, Tony's life fell into a downward spiral.

Losing most of his possessions, Tony decided to wander off into the moors of southern England with no purpose. Becoming more misanthropic in his ideology, he drifted on with little human contact. As he continued to drift on, Tony had nearly lost hope in all his convictions. It wasn't until Tony encountered an eccentric older gentleman in the moors that he was given temporary redemption. The gentleman, who took much pity on Tony and his declining state, graciously gifted him a rundown cottage to live in. It was here Tony first met Scrunch.

One day, as Tony went out during a winter snowstorm, he stumbled upon a frozen birth sack containing an unborn calf. It seemed the calf had been abandoned, and doing the compassionate thing, Tony nursed the calf back to life. From bottle-feeding to constant grooming, Tony raised this calf into a full grown bull and that temporary redemption had turned into a whole new purpose in life.

These days, Tony and Scrunch have basic necessities in their dilapidated cottage: food, water, a bed, and a terribly leaky roof. To say the two scrape by would be a mighty understatement, but they make it work. And although Tony's health has deteriorated in recent years, he still gets up every morning to feed Scrunch. It's this type of love and compassion that warms the heart. And what makes this story all the more endearing is that the two seem to be completely content with the bare minimum.

So the overall purpose of this project is to help Tony tell his story to the world. The director of this project, John McFarlane, is ready to document this incredible story about a man with little besides his small cottage and a highland bull, but he will need help raising the funds to film this story. So please help make this story happen!
