For the last half century, Frank Frazetta has dominated the world of Fantasy Art with his images of fierce warriors, helpless princesses, grotesque monsters, and fantastic creatures, all set in the most lavish landscapes. Frazetta is best known for his paintings of Robert E. Howard's quintessential sword and sorcery hero "Conan the Barbarian". Today, a Frank Frazetta painting can fetch up to $250,000 on the open market. In this documentary, director Lance Laspina lifts the curtain on an artist who has largely avoided the public eye. Painting with Fire tells of a fascinating life and what Frazetta's artwork means to future generations. The film is not only a love letter to the art form, but to the artist as well, tracing his life from his Brooklyn childhood to the present, and focusing on Frazetta's unique combination of skills and intuition. An oil painting done at the age of eight reveals Frazetta's inborn gift and footage of the 72-year-old artist painting left-handed (his right arm was incapacitated by a stroke) portrays indomitable willpower. This film is a must see for every comic book and graphic novel fan. Share an intimate moment with this artistic virtuoso as we unfold Frank Frazetta's extraordinary life story. Frazetta Comics artist Jay Fotos will be on hand with an exclusive Q&A about working the Frazetta Family and bringing to life comic books based on Frazetta's legendary art such as Death Dealer, Creatures, Dracula Meets The Wolfman, Swamp Demon, and Dark Kingdom to name a few. Plus you will get the exclusive news on next years additions such as The Silver Warrior, Combat, Neanderthal, Freedom, and Nightstaker: all based on Frank Frazetta's amazing art.

Evan is a loner, but a very good swimmer. He meets Leia while doing laps at the college pool. There is something strange about her from the beginning -- the way she screams with delight when her body touches the water, the way she smokes in the school cafeteria, her clumsiness, and the blunt way she asks Evan if he would like to 'develop a relationship'. But things really take a turn when her face starts to liquefy in the library bathroom. She calls Evan and he manages to administer a remedy that brings her back to 'normal'. At first she tells him it's an anti-immune problem. Then she tells him she is from another planet. In her natural state she is a liquid, she says, and her planet is an ocean. Because he is a good swimmer, she suggests that he come visit. Evan's mind is blown, but could this, in a weird way, be exactly what he's looking for?
