> Emily Paulson of "Tremendous! Entertainment" is making a children's
> video series "The Renaissance" - an educational project.
>
> "Currently, we are searching the web for Renaissance re-enactors to be a
> part of our shoot. We have come across the Kentwell Estate, and are
> intrigued at the possibilities there. We have also considered using
> Stratford On Avon as a possibility. Can you suggest other locations to
> recreate Renaissance (1350-1650) everyday life? We would like to show
> life as it was like back in those times, with artisans, craftspeople and
> such. Ideally it would have to take place in a Renaissance setting and
> not a temporary tent background."
>
> "Because of our small, tight educational budget we can not afford any big
> production. We are, however, committed to providing the most detailed
> and historically correct information to our young audience
>
> "I would appreciate any information you might have on this subject. We
> are also planning on shooting all over Italy, in May. Do you know of any
> re-enactors that are located in Italy?"
