Movie of the Week: Poetry in Motion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru-lnU_KfEwPoetry in Motion by Demetreis Bankhead‘“I never knew what I wanted to be. I never had a sense of direction like most people. But every time I write, anywhere I write, it all seems to fall into place. Like it’s God’s way of saying ‘you belong here.’”’ Poetry in Motion by Demetreis Bankhead (Mentor: Glen Payne) is a story about a young poet who uses poetry to help cope with the stresses of daily life. Demetreis shares how poetry helps him make sense of his feelings and emotions: “Words speak to more than just a person's ear, they have the potential to shake the core of someone's soul.”Reel Works presents “Movie of the Week” to showcase the exemplary films made by our young filmmakers.
