In film editing terminology, a cross-cut sequence is one where the movie jumps between\u00a0two different scenes, often to build suspense or create a deeper understanding of all the characters involved by subtly relating the actions of one character to the activity\u00a0in\u00a0the other scene. A classic example would be the cross-cut sequence that cuts\u00a0between the mafia murders in various parts of town with newly minted criminal mastermind Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) attending a baptism in “The Godfather.”<\/p>\n
In Guys Reading Poems<\/a>, we employ poetry as a prime vehicle to understand the life of a creative but troubled family of artists living in downtown Los Angeles. To add meaning to this experiment in film narrative, we are curating a series of essays titled “Cross-Cut.” The collection of short pieces will delve into the oeuvre, psychology and impact of each of the poets we’ve selected for inclusion in the film. Our hope is that an additional layer of insight into each poet will enrich\u00a0your experience of how their work is applied cinematically\u00a0in our film.<\/p>\n Here is a listing of the poets included in Guys Reading Poems<\/em> along with links to the essays about them from our contributors:<\/p>\n William Blake<\/a>,\u00a0Bertolt Brecht<\/a>,\u00a0Richard Corbet,\u00a0Emily Dickinson,\u00a0Thomas Gray,\u00a0Thomas Hardy,\u00a0Ben Jonson,\u00a0Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/a>,\u00a0Harold Monro<\/a>,\u00a0Sir Walter Scott,\u00a0Sara Teasdale<\/a>,\u00a0Chidiock Tichborne<\/a>,\u00a0Walt Whitman<\/a>,\u00a0William Wordsworth,\u00a0W.B. Yeats<\/a><\/p>\n Most of the poetry is public domain work from deceased authors, but the film includes poems from two writers living and working in Los Angeles. They are:<\/p>\n Steven Reigns<\/a>,\u00a0Hunter Lee Hughes<\/a><\/p>\n The film also includes five passages of poetry from The Bible.<\/p>\n To see how the poetry is integrated in the film, you can order and watch the film now via iTunes<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Vudu<\/a>, Google Play<\/a>, Vimeo<\/a>, YouTube<\/a> or Blu-Ray.com.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.9″ global_module=”2287″ prev_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row global_parent=”2287″ background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”iTunes Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/itunes.png” url=”https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/movie\/guys-reading-poems\/id1330861332?mt=6″ \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”Amazon Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/amazon.png” url=”https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reading-Poems-Blu-ray-Patricia-Velasquez\/dp\/B07895ZWWF\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1530808335&sr=8-2&keywords=guys+reading+poems” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Google Play Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/google-play-badge.png” url=”https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/movies\/details\/Guys_Reading_Poems?id=bQ4Tt-DfRWM&hl=en_US” \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”Vudu Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vudu.png” url=”https:\/\/www.vudu.com\/content\/movies\/details\/Guys-Reading-Poems\/921534″ \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”YouTube Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/youtube-logo.png” url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bQ4Tt-DfRWM” \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”Blu-Ray Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Blu-Ray.png” url=”http:\/\/www.blu-ray.com\/movies\/Guys-Reading-Poems-Blu-ray\/199089\/” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Vimeo Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/vimeo.png” url=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/guysreadingpoems\/248898991″ \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”Microsoft Buy Now” global_parent=”2287″ _builder_version=”3.9″ src=”https:\/\/guysreadingpoems.com\/grp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Microsoft.png” url=”https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/guys-reading-poem\/8d6kgwxp6gnt\/0001″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cross-cut blog includes profiles of poets like Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Milly and Steven Reigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1246,"parent":0,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" In film editing terminology, a cross-cut sequence is one where the movie jumps between\u00a0two different scenes, often to build suspense or create a deeper understanding of all the characters involved by subtly relating the actions of one character to the activity\u00a0in\u00a0the other scene.
