There is a cultural tide rising in Houston.
Amid the city's museums, historic landmark, and vibrant nightlife exists a cache of the nation's most prolific spoken word artists. The community of poets is a diverse as the city it represents. Their words are etched in the very fabric of H-town.
Their story, once the city's best-kept secret, will finally be told.
Sol-Caritas, LLC CEO, Carlos Wallace, and iRise Filmz, LLC Founder, Mikell "Fetti" Limbrick, joins forces once again. Considered two of Houston's most creative minds, the pair created a powerful documentary that traces the origins of Houston's spoken word scene. P.E.N.S. (Poetic Energy Needed in Society) delves into the lives of the city's most celebrated poets, revealing stories of struggle, abuse, social justice, feminism, race relations, love, hate and much more, all told through the pens of the men an women who helped build the scene from the ground up.
P.E.N.S. is directed and produced by iRise Filmz, LLC, the company behind author Carlos Wallace's promotional video series based on his bestselling book, "Life Is Not Complicated, You Are: Turning Your Biggest Disappointments Into Your Greatest Blessings." Wallace enlisted Limbrick's top-rated production house for the documentary to ensure the videography is first rate. "Fetti's work is as close to perfection as I have ever encountered. Every single detail is planned and executed meticulously.
Wallace prides himself on being a risk-taker. Once committed solely to producing comedy shows, the trailblazer saw an opportunity in the virtually untapped poetry and spoken word market. "The art is undervalued, and the goal is to change that," says Wallace. For more information on P.E.N.S., please email info@sol-caritas.com.
