Concept and Plot
The Windwalkers depicts a day in the life of imaginary wind enthusiasts Crazy Fred, Gustav Vind, Chris Ghostwalker, Jimbo James and Carmen Carbonara as they follow their dreams, follow their rituals and seek to make amends for events of the past. Gustav, for instance, is a tortured soul who lost his wife to the wind many years before the events of the film. The action was largely unscripted and unstunted with most of the final footage been taken in the first take. The Maynooth Media Society provided funding for the project after Heneghan's original proposal was accepted, however the final costs were well below the original estimate.

Famous quotes containing the words concept and/or plot:
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
