David Mills performs his poem “Thomas’ Promises” from Paul Devlin’s TV pilot Slammin’, the pre-cursor to his movie SlamNation.

Slam Poetry melds the art of writing and the art of performance in the context of a good old fashion brawl.  SlamNation is the seminal film of this literary movement.

In SlamNation there are many candid behind-the-scenes of the New York team, including great moments when they rehearse for the finals. Many poets have told me that they look on enviously: “I wish people could see OUR rehearsals. AMAZING things happen.”

 

We gave poet muMs da Schemer a camera to capture the intimate moments of his team. He shots hours of footage. Here’s an outtake with experimental editing of footage from the camera left recording on a table.
