“To me, Dante’s Inferno represents all the reasons we go to see movies on the big screen. This is a love story set against the background of the epic destruction of the city of San Francisco. Ultimately, after four black days, with annihilation at their doorsteps and against all odds, Dante and the hearty forty-niner souls rise, suffocate the fiery holocaust and launch the city’s rebirth.”
Michael Trachiotis, a graduate student at the Academy of Art University’s School of Motion Pictures and Television, has assembled the top artists and designers from the University to work in collaboration to bring to fruition Dante’s Inferno.
“It is our goal to present the breathtaking, spectacular, heart wrenching, definitive tale of Dante and the survivors of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire in a classic cinematic way that resembles the great epic films like ‘Gone with the Wind’ and ‘Titanic.’ ”
