[Steppes] 12th Nite Documentary

[Martin Catt]

A documentary on 12th Night is currently in the works, being produced by 
myself. You know me as Lodovico Benevoglio, long-time resident of the 
Steppes. The target is for a one-hour documentary suitable for general 
release, currently titled "Revel." The projected completion date of the 
finished documentary is probably June of 2007 (yes, it does take that long 
to edit).

The plan is to show what goes on to put on such an event, along with the 
actual event itself. I'm looking to attend the organizational meetings, 
cooking sessions, planning meetings, etc. This is to cover the "official" 
side of 12th Night.

Besides the organizational details, I would like to include the populace's 
aspect as well, showing the 12th Night experience from the attendee's point 
of view.I am looking for members of the populace who are planning on 
attending 12th Night who would be willing to let me videotape them as they 
research and make new costumes, work on their entry in the best-decorated 
table competition, plus any special projects they may be working on for 12th 
Night. I am looking for BOTH late and early period personas, male AND 
female, who would let me document their costuming efforts. In particular, I 
would be interested in documenting childrens' costuming efforts, as they 
usually get left out of most documentaries like this.

Please don't think your costuming isn't "good" or "authentic" enough -- I 
want footage from all levels of skill and authenticity, from those who use 
fabric off the bolt from the store to those who pick the sheep and shear, 
card, spin, and weave their own fabric, from people whose outfits look good 
from ten feet away to those people who are authentic down to their last item 
of underwear, and from those who use a sewing machine to that person in the 
100% hand-stitched garb. Everyone plays at different levels, and I want to 
include you all.

Logistics limit me to people in the DFW metroplex, mainly evenings and 
weekends since I have a real-world job that pays for projects like this. You 
can contact me at:

mlc12th at hotmail.com

if you are interested in participating. Please note that all participation 
is unpaid, and a release form will have to be signed if you become a "major" 
participant.

Regards;
Lodovico
