Good Day Ladies and Gentlemen,
I was forwarded a link to this forum/bulletin board by Mr. John B, he was kind enough to place a link to my video and I'm glad that more people are seeing it and taking an interest. On a good note, I've been entering it in various film festivals in the US and in Europe, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Already it won a national AEGIS Award last year to which I'm very proud of, so I'm crossing my fingers for a few more. If anyone has any questions about the video or the Archers I'll do my best to answer them? As the director/producer and voice over talent, I decided to refrain from putting myself in the video further; which was hard, but I wanted to tell their story not mine. Yes, people always ask if I'm an Archer, or related to them in some way for I'm just as passionate about portraying Regency, Victorian, Edwardian and 1920's eras; just without the automobiles. A couple of months ago a film production company owned by David Arquette and Courteney Cox hired Ed for his 1906 Locomobile, to which Ed asked me to come along since Karen had other plans, they (David, Producer, Costumer Designer) liked me so much they put me in the film; it's titled, 'The Butler's In Love', and it stars David Arquette, Elizabeth Berkeley, Thomas Jane, and Jennifer (Siebel) Newsome. Though the costumes were rented they couldn't come close to what Ed and I had on, they were all seriously blown away. If you get a chance to see it, I'm the gentleman escorting a lady (Film Producer Jaimee) down a San Francisco street past a grand Victorian house (1198 Fulton St) as the Locomobile pulls up, I'm not placed in the credits, but my presence helps with the time change; they also go to a great close up. LOL It is only a twelve minute 3D piece that was produced for Le Tourment Absinthe; which was featured in the piece. I'm hoping it will see the light of day for distribution on a compilation DVD filled with other Absinthe commercials or films.
I was also hired by Matte World Digital for the new David Fincher directed movie starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton. The film is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons'. They needed people dressed "1918" for a couple of scenes to be added digitally into the movie in post, for I guess that they were lacking extras during their filming in New Orleans. No, I did not get to meet any of those actors, for I was not on set. I'm on my way to Asheville, NC for a family wedding, as well as Charleston and Savannah. Yes, I will grace a few of those places with my 1920's white linen double breasted belted back suit, plus fours knickerbockers in tow with straw boater or eight point cap. if questions come in I'll do my best to get to them when I return.
Do enjoy your day!
Sincerely,
Mr. Jeffrey W. Jenkins

Mr. Jenkins,
Thank you for stopping in. I wish you the best of luck with your work on this documentary and your other projects. I am in awe and a bit envious of the Archers! I would love to see more of their story and yours, which I think would be as interesting.
I wish you Godspeed, a wonderful trip and hope you'll be stopping in when you return. I think your input here would be extremely valuable.
For instance-where does one get shirts and collars these days and how does one size them properly. Heh Heh! I've got the collar buttons now I need the rest...
Regards,
J.F.B.

I really want to know, what do the archers do for an income? They have to get the money to live that way from somewhere.

I do think it's easier than it used to be. I can't begin to imagine the research and searching for most everything they use before the internet made searching so much easier. E-Bay, in particular, has made it so much easier to find things. Of course in many instances it has raised the prices Regards, J. |

What do these people do for a living, I meant. Where do they get the money to live that way?

John,
Yes, but I don't know what they do for a living. I would imagine after a certain point one can earn some income simply consulting. Historians, authors, movie makers &c who want to know some detail of the past and in the Archers' case maybe need an automobile for a movie for example. Other than that there's no substitute for simple hard work and perseverance I think.
Regards,
J.
