HOWL

A renegade artist breaking down barriers in search of love and redemption. A hallucinogenic ride through a prophetic masterpiece that rocked a generation. A work of art put on trial for obscenity. HOWL tells the unlikely story of a poem that helped spark the counter-culture.

"Not quite a biopic, not really a documentary and only loosely an adaptation, HOWL does something that sounds simple until you consider how rarely it occurs in films of any kind. It takes a familiar, celebrated piece of writing and makes it come alive."
- A.O. Scott, NY Times

“Epstein and Friedman combine dramatization and documentary images so fluidly that one experiences what may be a new form—one that’s neither drama nor documentary… Epstein and Friedman have created a credible historical account of a seminal American literary event and an ode to free expression in our still censorious age.”
- Steven Watson, Artforum
