Tormented writer, Edgar Allan Poe grapples with haunted specters of his own design as he strives to create a masterpiece…a masterpiece that quickly falls into a tale of madness.
POE: A TALE OF MADNESS was filmed on a virtual production soundstage with a 50-foot curved LED screen utilizing groundbreaking technology known as “The Volume” – combining real props with backgrounds built with Unreal Engine. POE stands at the precipice of film industry tech seen in big budget productions such as Star Wars’ THE MANDALORIAN (2019-) and THE BATMAN (2022), creating visually stunning and immersive yet realistic environments – perfect for the dark and sinister cinematic dream world of Edgar Allan Poe.

POE: A TALE OF MADNESS, has dropped a dramatic movie-style trailer that uses the same cutting-edge technology that viewers have seen in The Batman and The Mandalorian. Hint: it’s not AI.

The main challenge in creating a trailer for a world premiere ballet is that often the sets haven’t been built when the trailer is created…the result is an almost-three-minute trailer that evokes the spirit of what the ballet will be.”
