Mot Bleu: A Rock and Roll Story

It’s the early 1990s. A journalism graduate is transported to the great plains of the Midwest for his first job. After two years of churning out sports statistics and making heroes out of athletes and the champions of industry, he meets Tom Willy - an aging relic from a time of psychedelic drugs, spiritual exploration, and social upheaval. Tom publishes Mot Bleu, a local magazine that covers a hidden artistic scene struggling to emerge from the shadows of the city. After a fall out with his overly conservative editor, the young reporter embarks on a short but epic journey into the hearts and minds of unknown musicians striving to make sense of their world, express their unique views of life, and drum up emotion amid the unfeeling wheels of a mechanized society cranking rancorously around them. This is a tale of joining the “real world” while squeezing some kind of meaning out of life.
