Not All Crypto Bros / Esmé von Hoffman

About Detroit, "Ovid and the Art of Love," and the challenges involved in making a movie about an ancient Roman poet.  Esmé von Hoffman is the writer and director of the 2020 film “Ovid and the Art of Love.” On its official website, the film is described as follows: “Based on the life of the famous Roman poet Ovid, this fun, classic story full of adventure, romance, and intrigue gets a modern twist. Set in a mash-up world of contemporary Detroit complete with togas, sneakers, hip-hop, oration, and poetry slams and filmed amidst the Motor City’s classical ruins, graffiti, and burgeoning art scene, ‘Ovid and the Art of Love’ is cinematically beautiful, engaging, and uncannily relevant." “Ovid and the Art of Love” was an official selection of the 2019 Festival of Cinema NYC, a film festival at which Esmé received the award for Best Director. In addition to her critically-acclaimed work on “Ovid and the Art of Love,” Esmé has written and produced documentary films, written journalistic articles, and worked as a film editor.  This marks the final episode of Season One of Quintilian. Look for Season Two to premiere at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. Thanks to all of my amazing guests for making this season such a success!  Quintilian is supported by a Bridge Initiative Grant from the Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek, a division of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South. Music: "Echo Canyon Instrumental" by Clive Romney Comments or questions about this podcast may be directed to ryangsellers@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

Set centuries apart but in the same place, OVID AND THE ART OF LOVE tells the story of the renowned Roman poet Ovid, whose comic verses and permissive lifestyle provoked the brutal Emperor Augustus’s ire. As Ovid and the emperor’s granddaughter – thrown together by fate – race to escape execution, Ovid’s story asks: In a world of unrest, is love the most radical act of all? Bringing together togas, high-tops, oration, poetry slams and hip-hop, this film tells a timely story about power, pleasure and politics. Strong women characters clamor for respect and a better place in society. All is set amongst the faded beauty of modern Detroit’s neoclassical architecture. Corbin Bleu (High School Musical) masterfully transforms into the poet Ovid, whose work has been cherished for over 2,000 years, while John Savage (The Deer Hunter) gives an electrifying performance as Augustus, Ovid’s conflicted nemesis. Tara Summers (Mercy Street, Boston Legal) plays Julia, Augustus’s tough, rebellious daughter, and Tamara Feldman (Gossip Girl, Hatchet) is the emperor’s activist granddaughter. Also starring Joseph McKenna (Shutter Island, 12 Monkeys) and Lailani Ledesma (Comedy Central’s Detroiters). Director and writer Esmé von Hoffman joins us to talk about her decision to recast this tale of a free-thinking Roman artist speaking truth to power as a modern parable.
