Poe from Nicole Astarita on Vimeo.
Our idea was inspired by our first video project which also was set in the library. While filming that project, we came across a lot of really cool old books, one in particular being an Edgar Allan Poe book that looked really worn and creepy. We wanted to do a film about a person's interaction with an object and thought this would be perfect. Ideas started to flow and we decided to do a horror style short. As we started developing the film, we realized that our weaknesses were eachother's strengths which allowed us to produce something we were both extremely proud of. Cara was the actress in it and I filmed the whole thing, and we got a couple of extras to appear in certain scenes. We edited together, with Cara taking over directing and me taking over the technical constructing. Overall it was a great experience and we both had a lot of fun working together.
