SPITTIN INK - A DOCUMENTARY

A few of you know that I (MeaLee) am a poet and that I love all things poetry - this is not why I am telling you to check out Spitting Ink - A Documentary about my love [poetry] - I'm urging you because it looks like it will be a good film showing a cultue that continues to grow and expand every day. Many are intrigued by the poetry community but really don't understand it - I promise it's really easy to - it's really just a big family lol. Also this film is a true testament that it doesnt take much - you do not have to have a Hollywood budget to get something done.

Spitting Ink directed by Ralph De Haan and Lars Siemens was shot with just a 3 man crew using a DAT recorder and  a very old 16mm camera. It doesn't take much to leave a positive imprint of you somewhere in the world. Check out the site, join their Facebook page and support the Arts!

Six other contemporary poets talk about their love for words, why they write, and what inspires them to continue writing. They depict why poetry is still a vital written and oral tradition. Graffiti covered New York streets and bars are their stages. A stylized portrait of a worldwide underground phenomenon shot by a 3-man crew with a beat-up DAT recorder and a 40 year old 16mm camera
