Elmore Leonard’s life, his works, his place in the American literary pantheon, is the subject of this new documentary. Central to the film, adding depth and resonance, is more than half-an-hour of never-before-seen interview footage with Leonard in which he analyzes and discusses how he started, why he wrote what he did, how he arrived at his lean, terse minimalist trademark.
Narrated by Campbell Scott, Written & Directed by John Mulholland, Produced/Edited by Richard Zampella, Executive Produced by Shannon Mulholland & Craig Gilbert
