C.V. of Amos Poe
Amos Poe and Emily |
Amos poe by Clemente |
"As an artist and communicator, Amos Poe is not afraid
to simultaneously challenge and move an audience. Seldom,
if ever, in American cinema has a sensibility of such avant garde
and seemingly pessimistic tastes produced films of such compassion
and reflection."
- Eddie Cockrell, The American Film Institute/Washington
DC
Poe is one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement
(75-85) that grew out of the bustling East Village music
and art scene.
The No Wave paralleled the punk music explosion
and included Jim Jarmusch, Eric Mitchell, James Nares, Beth
and Scott B, Vivienne Dick, Sara Driver, John Lurie, Richard
Kern, Nick Zedd, Bette Gordon, Melvie Arslanian, Charlie
Ahearn, among others - they embraced B-movie genres, the
avant-garde, & the
French New Wave to create a fresh, vibrant American art cinema.
Poe is considered by many (see John Pierson's book, "Spike,
Mike, Slackers & Dykes", Legs McNeil's "Please
Kill Me", or C. Patterson's "Captured") to be
the "father" of the modern indy American cinema.
In '75 Poe and Ivan Kral (Patti Smith Group, Iggy Pop) produced,
edited and shot the now classic and definitive punk film,
THE BLANK GENERATION.
This film chronicles the seminal performances
of Richard Hell, Patti Smith, Blondie, Ramones, Talking Heads,
Television, Heartbreakers, Wayne County et. al.
In '76, Poe wrote, produced, directed his debut groundbreaking
feature, UNMADE BEDS, an homage to Godard's "Breathless" and
the French New Wave.
In '77, using a car loan for $5,000, Poe
wrote, produced and directed his most influential film, THE
FOREIGNER, starring Eric Mitchell, Patti Astor, Duncan Hannah
and Debbie Harry.
In '79-'80 Poe concluded his "underground
trilogy" with the bleakly beautiful SUBWAY RIDERS, his
first foray in color.
These bohemian films starred the downtown
demimonde of artists, musicians and poets.
During this era,
Poe also directed the legendary weekly TV show, GLENN O'BRIEN'S
TV PARTY.
In '83-'84, Poe co-wrote and directed ALPHABET CITY (w/ Vincent
Spano, Kate Vernon & Michael Winslow), his first 35mm
film, and directed numerous music videos (Run DMC, Animotion,
Anthrax, Juice Newton etc.).
In '85-'86 he wrote ROCKET GIBRALTAR (starring Burt Lancaster,
Macauley Culkin, Kevin Spacey, Patricia Clarkson, Francis
Conroy, Bill Pullman, John Glover).
In the late '80's, Poe
applied himself to writing numerous screenplays, among them
- "Port
of Call" (Chiesa Prod.), "The Golden Eagle" (Columbia
Pictures), "Mrs. Dogg" (Island/World), "Beach
House" (Weintraub Ent.), "Paint. It Black." (Ulick/Mayo
Prod.) "Caught In A Whirlwind" (Cabana Ent.) and "Pony
Rider" (Fox).
Poe returned to filmmaking in '90 with the acclaimed TRIPLE
BOGEY ON A PAR 5 HOLE (Island/World).
In '92, Poe produced
Steven Starr's JOEY BREAKER (Skouras/Paramount) starring
Richard Edson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Gina Gershon and
Michael Imperioli.
Poe returned to scripting in '93-'94 with
a vengeance, writing: "Tar
Baby" (from Toni Morrison's novel for Willi Ramaeu), "Kid
Killer", "La Pacifica" (released as a graphic
novel by DC Comics), "The Guitar", "The Lodz
7 ", "The Grey Nun", "Hard On Berlin", "The
Listener" (David Brown/Paramount), "Rattle My Cage" and "Dead
Weekend" (with novelist Joel Rose).
In '94 Poe directed
the Ed Wood inspired sci-fi DEAD WEEKEND (starring Stephen
Baldwin & Bai Ling).
In the late '90's Poe wrote and directed the neo-noir FROGS
FOR SNAKES (starring Barbara Hershey, Robbie Coltrane, Ian
Hart, Debi Mazar, Justin Theroux and Clarence Williams III).
Poe continued writing screenplays, among them: "Stunning", "To
Kill An Angel", "Underage", "Bypass", "The
Night Witches", as well as directed two videos for Danny
Goldberg's Artemis Records (Steve Earle's "Transcendental
Blues" and "Over Yonder").
In '99 Poe began
teaching filmmaking at NYU/Tisch School of the Arts.
In 2001, Poe "Murchian engineered" Alliance-Atlantis'
29 PALMS (starring Jeremy Davies).
In '02-'03 Poe produced & directed
STEVE EARLE : JUST AN AMERICAN BOY, a feature portrait of
singer-songwriter Steve Earle.
Poe continues to teach screenwriting,
directing and production at NYU (and at NYU's Florence Summer
Program) as well as other universities (University of Buffalo/Summer
Grad Program).
Currently, Poe's working on several films, including EMPIRE
II (a "re-make" of Warhol's EMPIRE) and THE GUITAR
(starring Saffron Burrows, Isaach de Bankole & Paz de la
Huerta; directed by Amy Redford). Poe's latest plans include
www.pianospecs.com - an on-line pro-active ad platform for
filmmakers, designers & artists.
