Also written by Poe, the cast includes Kelly Marie Tran, Michaela Watkins, Brandon Micheal Hall and Judith Light. The film premiered earlier this year at the SXSW Film Festival.

Since Selah and the Spades, Poe has also directed several episodes of television, including Dave, the new The Twilight Zone series from a few years back and Two Sentence Horror Stories.

Around the time of the film’s Prime Video release back in 2020, it was said that a series adaptation of Selah and the Spades was being developed as the streamer, but no update has come since.
