Dreams with Sharp Teeth

Harlan Ellison sits in his cluttered office, surrounded by books and typewriters, and begins to tell a story. The documentary captures the legendary, irascible author of speculative fiction in 2008, not as a relic but as a living, breathing force of nature. Through interviews and archival footage, it paints a portrait of a man whose creative fury and uncompromising principles shaped generations of writers and filmmakers. This is a nonfiction character study of an artist who never learned to bite his tongue, exploring the passion and the price of a life dedicated to the power of the word.
