Huzzah! The Movie

500 Years in the Making

Huzzah! The Movie is an exploration of the modern subculture of renaissance festival enthusiasts -- patrons, performers, and players who look to the 16th Century to find what is missing in the 21st.

We've been very fortunate to attend a number of renaissance festivals around the country. We won't lie -- part of our motive in making the movie was to have an excuse to travel around, enjoying a variety of faires. It was a lot of work, but we never missed an opportunity to join our fellow rennies for a wooden pint and a laugh. Community, after all, is what faire is all about.​
