Filming Arcadia

The first-ever film version of Sidney's Arcadia, a ten-minute segment from Book 2, Chapter 17, should be ready this week.

Last summer, I contacted the Theater Department for some ideas on how to dramatize Sidney's work, particularly the scene I believe is the source of Juliet's meditation on Romeo's name. Instead of a staged reading (turtle necks, music stands, scripts), or even a video, in the end we managed to produce an actual film. It was shot on October 21, 2017,  along the Wabash River at Ft. Ouiatenon, just southwest of Purdue University.

Here's a photo of the actual filming:
