TV companylooking for the biggest royal fan
of Wills 'n' Kate, Harry, and Diana

Hi
We are currently working on a Documentary Series about the British Royal family, titled The Royals.

In this series we celebrate everything that makes the British Royal family unique. We will unveil the traditions and the history of one of the most influential institutions in the world. They are not just a British obsession but a global phenomenon.

We are looking for the most dedicated, knowledgeable fans of the royals, specifically a real admirer of William & Catherine, Prince Harry or the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

I am an academic, working at King's College, London and I'm doing some research on Royal Events in London, in particular the 1953 Coronation and the recent Jubilees, and the experiences enjoyed by people watching these events on big screens in London.

I would like to talk to people who watched any or all of:

♦ the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the big screens either along the river route or in London Parks;

♦ the Golden Jubilee concert on the big screens in the Mall;

♦ the 1953 Coronation on the cinema screen in the Royal Festival Hall.

If you are able to help me with this, of have friends, family or colleagues who you think might, do please get in touch.
Thank you so much, I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like more information about my project. If you are willing to act as a respondent, I can promise you confidentiality, and anonymity if you wish, and that I will not take up much of your time.

Many thanks and all best wishes

[Ruth Adams]

To give you a clearer picture of my research project, here are the questions I would like to ask respondents...

Firstly, a few questions about yourself, please.

What is your age, and your occupation? Where do you live? (region/country)

Questions relating to the event and your experience of it:

Which Royal event(s) did you attend?

Why did you decide to attend in person, rather than watch it on the television?

From where did you view it?

Did you attend alone, or with family and friends?

Did you watch all, or just part of the event on the screens? If the latter, why was this?

Did you plan to watch the event on the screens, or was it more a question of comfort and necessity - i.e. issues of crowding or not being able to see the 'real life' action?

Did you feel you were missing out by watching the event on the screens rather than 'the real thing'?

What was the atmosphere like in the crowd?

Did people respond to the action on the screen? And if so, in what ways? Did their responses differ to those watching the real action?

Have you watched other live events on big screens in public places (sporting events, for example). If so, were there any notable differences between those and the Royal event you attended?

Any other information about your experience that you might like to add would also be most welcome.

Hello, привет,

I am posting today I am a French filmmaker passionate by the Russian imperial family and will be making a movie about Alexei in July in LA. I was wondering if you would be interested to contribute to the short-film that will be shoot about Alexei's last day and his fight against hemophilia during the revolution. The Tsarevich is a thesis short film that I make as a student filmmaker.

My name is Geoffroy Faugérolas, I'm a French director based in LA and I will direct the short film The Tsarevich this summer. We are looking for additional funds for our movie or getting any other kind of support such as locations, media coverage, distribution, festival entries...

What is the film about? The Tsarevich is based on real events that happened to the Imperial family of Russia, in 1917, at the verge of their execution. The story takes place in the Ipatev house, a requisitioned villa that serves as a prison for the Tsar and his family. The Romanovs are being held captive by the secret police of the Bolsheviks, a communist party lead by Vladimir Lenin and under Yakov Yurovsky’s watch. The story is told through the point of view of Alexei, the only heir of the throne that suffers from hemophilia and therefore, lives a very intricate life, where nobody sees his inner valor and strength.

Why do we need fundings?
Funding will go towards many department.
- Location: We need a Victorian era house to rent for couple of days.
- Food: The crew needs energy to carry on.
- Misc: Filmmaking has many expenses such as make-up, gas, rentals...
- Rentals: A period piece requires us to rent everything from wardrobe, props, set-design... The filmmakers want to portrait a realistic and accurate version of the history which comes with great cost.

I kindly thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
