The Last Wolf: Karl Edward Wagner

Documentary

2020

Karl Edward Wagner was one of the most accomplished dark fantasy and horror writers in the world during the 1970’s and 1980’s, but very few outside of his devoted cult of fans even know his name. Creator of the immortal antihero warrior Kane and the author of several cerebral tales of psychological horror, Karl gave his characters and settings a unique and chilling perspective. A rugged and imposing figure who resembled his red-bearded swordsman Kane, Karl’s life ultimately ended tragically in 1994 due to the ravages of alcohol, cutting short the career of a writer who should be considered a legend in the field of weird fiction. This feature-length documentary features Karl’s family, friends, and contemporaries like Ramsey Campbell, Peter Straub, and Dennis Etchison as they explore the life of the Last Wolf, a dark genius from a bygone era who, like Kane, remains immortal through his words.

No Bad Takes: An American Picture Show with William T. Vollmann

Documentary

2025

NO BAD TAKES is a raw, offbeat documentary nearly a decade in the making, following the longest—and possibly last—literary journey of legendary cult writer William T. Vollmann. Capturing both the mind of the artist and a fractured portrait of America, the film is a meditation on impermanence, friendship, and the possibilities of the creative process when one is open to the world.

Annie Ernaux, je suis née quelque part

Documentary

2024

A woman who has become part of literary heritage, the only French writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2022, she has made her life the basis for her work since the publication of her first novel in 1974... What can be said that her books haven't already said? On the occasion of her grand return to her hometown in Normandy, as she explores the places of her early childhood, this icon of several generations looks back on her youth and what made her the committed woman and writer she has become. Through a geographical and narrative journey covering her first 25 years, which resonated throughout the following 60 years, the film—the only one she has agreed to participate in since winning the Nobel Prize—offers a "different" portrait of Annie Ernaux, interweaving her personal memories, her writings, and the history of the 20th century.
