Collected Works

Turn Me On, Dead Man

A 1960’s pop band that has reached the pinnacle of international popularity must suddenly cope with the accidental death of one of its most popular members. In an attempt to maintain their fame, they choose to cover up the tragedy and replace their bandmate with a look-alike/sound-alike, hoping that their millions of fans will not notice.

This is a high concept period piece serving as an allegory for the Paul McCartney "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory/hoax, featuring beautiful, original music by Logan Metz and Lincoln Mendell.
