"I'm not a historian. I'm not an archaeologist. I'm just a guy who, at a certain point in my life, in a place where I least expected it – the oldest pub in Ireland – heard a story. A story about a branch that brought me a great deal of luck, joy, and peace.

It felt too good to just die there. So I decided to retell it, the way I imagine it, using the latest technology to bring it to life.

Am I someone famous? Maybe. If I started this by saying my name was Spielberg or Tarantino, the story would be promoted by my name. I want the opposite. I want this legend to stand on its own. My identity isn't important. The journey is."

"Right. Story's done. Credits ain't rollin' yet though. Hold your horses, sunshine. The geezer behind this whole kerfuffle? You'll get his moniker served up nice and proper... right after we tally the score."
