Artist, producer, and director Michael Sporn is in production on Poe, a feature length animated film about the life of the legendary American writer wrapped around four of his most famous tales. Sporn has had his hand in television, film, and print for decades now, lending his skills to everything from Reading Rainbow, to animated adaptations of Harold And The Purple Crayon and Goodnight Moon, and in 1984 his animated short Doctor Desoto was nominated for an Academy Award. Poe was written by Maxine Fisher and has an animation team made up of Matthew (Between The Lions) Clinton and Tissa (Simple Gifts) David.
