Over Yonder, a music video by Amos Poe, is a stark, vivid counterpoint to Steve Earle's anti-death penalty song which the renegade Texas songwriter wrote after witnessing the execution of convicted killer Jonathan Nobles. Poe is considered by many to be the "father" of the modern independent American cinema and was one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement that grew out of the bustling New York City East Village music and art scene. His seminal 1976 portrait of an age, Blank Generation, chronicled the decadence and riotous rage of the New York punk rock scene.
