To overcome obstacles, you need relentless drive. To penetrate the atmosphere and achieve your dreams, you need escape velocity.

Clarksville videographer Kevin Devonte Poe, also known as “Poeboy K.P.,” has that drive and velocity.

Poe, raised in Gretna, Virginia, is the founder and CEO of Ice Breaking Films LLC. The direction and cinematography of his visuals offer a refreshing departure from the most local videography businesses. The team does a variety of video work, including weddings.

“I had Ice Breaking Films shoot my wedding. It was the best decision I ever made,” said client Antwan Mease. “He provided memories that my wife and I will have forever.”

Poe specializes in creating music videos.

“Ice Breaking Films never disappoints, and is always reliable, affordable, professional, communicates well and has unmatched quality,” said client Britt Marie. “What I’ve always appreciated was the care, time and effort that is put into my videos; never rushed and always perfect.”

Poe spent 10 years in the Army, serving in Afghanistan and South Korea. He draws from the discipline, precision and global outlook of his military experience to create his videos.

He started his videographer journey while recording as Poeboy K.P. He needed his own music videos, and he couldn’t wait on others to produce them. Being a self-starter, he taught himself the art of videography and began filming his own videos.

Since then, Poe has filmed videos for such artists and dancers as Boosie Badazz, IceWear Vezzo, Young Buck, Asian Doll, K-Stylis, Lil’ Migo, choreographer/dancer Marissa Milele, “So You Think You Can Dance: Season 16” second place winner Mariah Russel and more. His videos have gained a cumulative total of half a million views on YouTube.

Poe is developing a team to scale his business. He now works alongside Adreol Jones and Ricardo Rich. The mission of Ice Breaking Films is not just to please their clients, but to amaze them, with customer satisfaction being the key to success.

“As a recording artist you need to deliver a conceptualization of who you are and what your music represents, and there must be a visual component that defines that concept,” Poe said. “Now more than ever compelling visual presentations are important for the growth and survival of a record label and for the development of a music artist. I help music artists to create dynamic visual experiences of their songs and I take their fans on a journey into their world.”
