18 months in the making, this Omnibus documentary follows Pulitzer-winning author Annie Proulx across the American West as she researches and writes her next book, ''That Old Ace in the Hole.'' Best known for ''The Shipping News'' and ''Brokeback Mountain,'' which accumulated three Academy Awards, the Connecticut-born former journalist heads out from New York on a personal assignment to capture the essence of life "western-style'' which sees her interview a knife maker, a food forager, and a fiddler en route. A major literary novel's writing process from start to finish has never been documented on film before. Omnibus offers a unique insight.
