For over 50 years, Frank Frazetta dominated the art world with his images of fierce
warriors, helpless princesses, and fantastical creatures set in the most lavish landscapes.
His impact upon the worlds of fantasy art and film was unparalleled, and it can be seen to
this day in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Amazingly, he managed to do this while nearly
dying because of an undiagnosed thyroid condition. Even more astonishing was his ability
to survive six strokes, which forced him to switch from drawing with his right hand to
drawing with his left hand. The film documents the life and work of this legendary fantasy
artist while exploring the universal theme of inspiration. Visual effects are used in a very
unique way to bring his paintings to life. And when you combine this technique with an
outstanding original score, it makes for a very original documentary.
