Anticipating SXSW, 2/24.

Dreams with Sharp Teeth (site), "titled after the author's omnibus edition, shows [Harlan] Ellison twice circa 1981, in an upfront interview and during one of many occasions when he scripted a short story entirely on display in a bookstore window," writes Matthew Sorrento in Identity Theory. "While such footage would be essential in covering Ellison, we are in good hands to know that [director Erik] Nelson shot the footage himself as a young man and has been documenting the author ever since."

"Jumping freely from coast to coast, Bi the Way (2008 [site]) examines the apparent trend in bisexuality in the new millennium," writes Flickhead. "The commenting writers, clinicians and analysts vary in age, but the 'test case' participants are all under 30 - as are [filmmakers Brittany] Blockman and [Josephine] Decker."

Cinematical's Erik Davis is weirded out by the trailer for A Necessary Death.
