Help Amos Poe Make His Next Film!

My former professor, inspirational mentor and good friend, Amos Poe (hope you aren't discouraged that I've elevated our relationship to this status, Amos, but we have been through flaming lawnmowers and sprained feet in Florence ^^), has a new project on the horizon....and he needs our help!

"As some of you may know, Amos Poe is one of the leading figures of the no wave cinema movement and is considered by many to be the father of the modern indie American cinema. (see Celine Danhier's "Blank City"). His films include: "The Blank Generation", "Unmade Beds", "The Foreigner", "Subway Riders", "Alphabet City", "Rocket Gibraltar", "Frogs For Snakes", "Steve Earle:Just An American Boy" and "Empire II".

His current project LA COMMEDIA di Amos Poe is inspired by Dante Alighieri’s 700 year-old literary masterpiece “La Divina Commedia” and Edward Muybridge’s 19th century breakthrough “The Horse In Motion”, arguably the first “motion picture”.

The key element of this film is the idea of a journey in motion, a pattern of events. Amos and Dante are two “travelers” in the middle of their years that have to confront themselves while undergoing a mid life crisis. "In the middle of my years I found myself in a dark wood..." so begins The Inferno." (Excerpt from KickStarter page)

(Also, our friend JR Skola at Dawn of Man Productions is involved as well!)
