In 1981, Paul Lomo, the misunderstood and morose lead singer of Miasma, drowned in a chateau swimming pool. The press called it suicide. But Elly Clyde, sultry rock journalist and longtime Lomo devotee, has always suspected foul play. Follow Clyde in Paul Is Dead as she weaves her way through the San Francisco music scene, trying to discover what really happened.
In the grand tradition of murder mysteries, everyone has a motive in this made-for-Internet movie. The clues are scattered far and wide, and it's up to you to find them. Tune in to www.paulisdead.com/ to catch an eyeful of Shockwave Flash animated scenes.
As director John Sanborn explains, "It's not about figuring out whodunit, it's about all the fun stuff you'll find along the way." If you're intent on solving the mystery, here's a hint: be sure to butter up chatterbox Lenny Pochnik (played with a lovely dose of smarm by MacroMind founder Marc Cantor). Paul Is Dead is a 21-week adventure where the line between fact and fiction runs thin. Get lost in it.
