New York based actor, producer, filmmaker and former Capetonian – Stelio Savante – has joined thousands of South Africans in celebrating the South African Supreme Court’s ruling on citizenship. The court summary declared that it was constitutionally invalid for South Africans to lose their citizenship when acquiring those from other nations. The ruling comes after the Democratic Alliance (Da) appealed a high court order that originally dismissed the party’s application that the legislation was inconsistent with the South African constitution. However this new ruling reinstated Sa citizenship for all those who lost it.

Savante – who has 135 international credits to his name – described the elation that he and other South Africans were experiencing – “I gratefully wake to celebrate with the tens of thousands of fellow South Africans who’d unnecessarily and inadvertently been deprived of their citizenship courtesy of a flawed and contradictory law that violated international human rights.

Metropolis Pictures Entertainment is the production company behind the independent thriller Poe. The film creates some loose connections between the character Jonathon Poe (Stelio Savante) and the famous American writer Edgar Allan Poe. This picture was recently completed in June and the film also stars Felissa Rose, David Fine, and Gene Silvers. Poe makes a bloody mess with a cannibalistic theme while the low production values and poor acting threaten to torpedo Poe's ship.

You see, Dr. Andrew Casey, Poe's subject, likes to make meat and hamburger out of the local prostitutes and wannabe actresses hanging out around Hollywood. Enter a moral dilemna...
