Filmed entirely in Black & White, "Ed Wood" is the true story of one man's dogged, Albeit Futile, determination to make it in Hollywood. A visionary or sorts, with no formal training, a fetish for wearing woman's clothing, and almost no chance of being signed to direct a studio-made feature; Wood tenaciously follows his wayward dream. Although recognition and respect seems to elude him every step of the way, he never abandons hope of one day becoming a famous Director. By banding together a bizarre cast of characters -- down and-out screen legend Bela Lugosi; television horror queen vampira; hulking Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson; psychic showman Criswell; highbrow transvestite bunny Breckinridge; hyperactive police officer Paul Marco; and even his girlfriend Colores - Wood creates ineptly-made, off-beat, low-budget independent films that somehow turn out to become classics -- After a fashion -- and turn him into a Legend.
