'''The Pennsic War: A Video documentary''' is the largest documentary ever made of the [[Pennsic War]]. It was created by [[Duckball Home Video]], a small group of independent videographers located in Brooklyn, NY ([[Canton of Brokenbridge]]). They had met [[Ervald the Optimistic]] through a mutual friend at a bar known as Gallagher's Ships Mast, and upon learning about the [[SCA]], decided they wanted to make a documentary about it. They headed out to Pennsic with three cameras and five crew, and shot 50 hours of footage. It turned out to be a 68 minute documentary, covering Pennsic XX, including interviews with such folks as [[Duke]] [[Sir]] [[Cariadoc of the Bow]], [[Master]] El of the Two Knives, and others. It sold over 400 copies in two years. |
