I just stumbled across this vid, and though a few things bothered me about it, I enjoyed it over all. Great job with Poe. I always cringe when people try to "play" Poe. They always seem to overdo it. Your actor was quite good. It's a very interesting story, and though the historical innacuracies bothered me a bit, I'm not one to deny artistic license. Great vid.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I must enquire, is the voice E.A. Poe (as exhibited by the actor) the inherent vernacular of an early-19th century Bostonian, or merely for voice of the actor? I am rather curious, thank you.

[scottlukaswilliams]

I'm afraid I don't know whether or not it's at all accurate. The actor came up with it and it seemed to fit so we went with it.

That was some of the best producing I've ever seen displayed in short film. Who is this Jacquline LaSorda? I would love to roll in the hay with her someday.

roll, roll! roll in zaa hay!

I must enquire, is the voice of Poe (as exhibited by the actor) an attempt to reenact the vernacular of an early-19th century Bostonian, or is that simply the actors voice?

That was great, the acting was no so good, but I enjoyed watching.
