• In 2012, New York-based filmmaker Alexander Poe found out about Tropfest in the nick of time. Using a ‘Bagel’ for inspiration (‘Bagel’ was the Tropfest Signature Item in 2012), Poe quickly pulled together a script and a crew and made the fantastic short ‘The Break-Up Tour’. The film went on to win 2^nd place at Tropfest New York and confirmed that Poe is certainly one emerging filmmaker to keep an eye out for.
