Plot: This voyeuristic look into a small town's Renaissance Festival delves
into the lives of a motley crew of characters and what brings them back
to their comfortless corsets, ballsack-hugging codpiece tights, and
sweltering animal pelts, year after year. Through the twists and turns
of personal exploration, our heroes and heroines use this time together
to fulfill the most basic desire in life: to love, be loved, and belong
as one's true self. Our beloved Rennies reveal that in a place centered
around pretending to be something that you are not, everyone discovers
who they are.

Quirky Renaissance Fun

Rennie is a heartfelt, hilarious, and surprisingly profound dive into the quirky world of Renaissance Faire life. What starts as a playful peek into corsets, codpieces, and mead-fueled mayhem quickly unfolds into a raw exploration of identity, connection, and the human need to belong.
The film doesn’t shy away from the absurd—from sweaty furs to an awkward lute-off—but its real magic lies in the vulnerability of its characters. These aren’t caricatures; they’re people finding freedom and family in a world built on make-believe. Ironically, by pretending to be knights and tavern wenches, they’re able to drop their real-world masks.
It’s funny, touching, and weirdly inspiring. Rennie is a love letter to chosen families, self-expression, and the beautifully bizarre spaces …
