Hatfield, Hertfordshire is significant to Sherlock Holmes (2009) because it is the birthplace of the director of the film, Guy Ritchie. He was born on September 10, 1968. I found this information from IMDb's biography of Guy Ritchie, which provides information about his birthplace and background, aswell as his career as a filmmaker. The participatory culture move is low barriers to entry because information about the background or birthplace's of famous directors is easy for anybody to research and share online, not just professional historians or certain people. Mapping this location on cove adds a grassroots layer to a story usually told top down because it shows a real place that is directly connected to someone who played a massive role in the story of Sherlock Holmes. It also gives fans a way to get to know Guy Ritchie and where he is from, making the movie feel more personal.
