Dear M Hanson. My name is Olivier Lassu, franch-canadian filmmaker, working on a documentary series for France "Habiter le monde" "Living the world", which explores all over the world for a second season now, the different and emblematic way to inhabit the wolrd. We are very interested in the Amish communities and found out your wonderful reportage published by the Washington Post. We are dreaming to film in that kind of Amish village, Mount Hope, Ohio. We have heard about how difficult it is to be accepted with a camera by this community. So I was wondering if, by any chance you'd have kept some contacts in this village and if you would the kindness to accept to talk them about our project and/or to give us their contact ? Our shootings last only one full week and we are very respectful as our goal is not at al to judge but understand the ways of life. The axis of our series is architecture, and reflexion about what does it mean to live such or such a way. The host of the series, Philippe Simay is a philosopher and teaches in Paris School of Architecture... Please have a look of our work in the following links (I am living between Paris and Montreal where I stay at the moment). In advance, thank you so much Michael for you answer. And by the way I am so admirative of your work ! http://cineteve.com/en/factual-documentaries/show-me-where-you-live/ http://tv5.ca/habiter-le-monde http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/search?q=habiter%20le%20monde&country=CA
