Film at Eleven

Some time ago, actress, musician and producer Jennifer Rouse spoke to Dale Pierce about - among other things - The Death of Poe, a cinematic chronicle of the great writer’s final journey into madness and fear directed by Mark Redfield.

And we’re rather pleased, therefore, to be able to announce that the film will debut on DVD in a deluxe 3 disc edition from Alpha New Cinema on November 21, 2006 and can be pre-ordered now from oldies.com.

Shot on location in Baltimore, Virginia and at the Redfield Arts studios in Baltimore, Maryland, principal photography began in late June, 2005 for a 30 day shooting schedule, with additional location work in September, 2005. The film was previously screened in early September 2006, at the 17th Festival of Fantastic Films. The Manchester Evening News called it “a highlight of the festival” and U.K. film journalist M.J.
