St Edmund - From King to Legend

Описание: Saint Edmund - The original Patron Saint of England.

150 years after his violent death at the hands of Danish invaders, an Abbey is founded in Edmund's name, in the town of Beodericsworth, by the first Danish king of England.

The period following his death saw huge conflict, intrigue and both political and religious transformation. It is against this backdrop that Edmund's legacy is written.

Through reenactment, graphical maps and interview with historian Dr Francis Young we hear the story of how Edmund went from fallen king to mythical hero. We learn how his legend helped to create the Kingdom of England and discover the events, through which, the town of Bury St Edmunds was born, 1000 years ago.

This was my first attempt at making a film and was researched, written, produced, shot and edited by myself over two and a half years of weekends and spare time on a micro budget.
I am now posting on Youtube so that more people can watch and, I hope, enjoy it.

Although financial reward was not the primary goal of this project I did fund the entire production myself, incurring notable time and financial costs in its creation and so thought that if people did enjoy the film they might be willing to support it and help make future projects more viable to create.

There is no obligation to do so but if you would like to support this and future projects there is a link below.

Many thanks
