About

Edward Pack Davee creates unconventional narrative features and experimental documentary works with a unique style characterized by quiet, unconventional, atmospheric character studies, commonly marked by subtle, low-dialog story telling with dense, dream-like sounds and imagery. Often, the atmosphere surrounding the events in his films are an important component of the story telling. 

"Director Edward P. Davee has debuted with a strong first effort that’s a breath of fresh air...to say he marches to the beat of his own drum doesn’t begin to explain it; Davee appears to have thrown out the drumsticks."

- The Playlist

“Something about Davee’s full commitment to his vision makes How The Fire Fell difficult to ignore. The imagery is similarly hard to shake…”

- The Dissolve

"The avant-garde storytelling is actually not unlike Steve McQueen’s excellent “Hunger.” The films are quite different, but what they share is a knack for evoking a specific time and place, mostly through atmosphere and visuals. You won’t learn a lot about these people or this time, but you will feel transported into a sort of tone poem dreamlike ambience."

”The magic of the mise-en-scene here is only in Davee’s deranged head”
