Series

Paul T. Goldman is a genre-breaking series that blends elements of true-crime documentary and comedy in an astonishing tale of betrayal and empowerment that is equal parts jaw-dropping, hilarious, and uniquely inspiring.

The series features Paul, a self proclaimed “regular guy”, acting out the events of his life leading up to, and following, the discovery that his ex-wife was running an alleged international crime ring.

— Primetimer

“jaw-dropping twists”

— The Streamable

“feels like a descent into madness”

— The New Yorker

“You've never seen anything like it”

— Tom’s Guide

Paul stars in the series as himself, acting in scenes that he wrote - based on a book about his life story that he self-published - alongside professional actors.

These scenes are intercut with behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the show, and interviews with real people from Paul’s life, which call to question how accurate his depiction of the events in his life really are.

The film follows Sean "Diddy" Combs (aka Puff Daddy) as he assembles an all-star lineup for a 20th Anniversary Bad Boy reunion show in New York City.  Intercut with archival footage and interviews, we witness Puff trying to bring together artists who haven't performed in decades, haven't spoken to each other, have become pastors or ministers, and some who have been imprisoned - all within the two-week span leading up to the show.  The film takes you into the homes of many of these performers, to the massive rehearsal space in Pennsylvania, and finally culminates at the Barclay's Center in NYC for the Bad Boy Family Reunion.

Shot in a room built to exactly match the one it would be exhibited in, Believe Your Eyes is the perfect marriage of virtual reality and theater.  As characters reach out toward you in the video displayed in your headset, actors who were secretly placed in the room reach out and grab you in real life - timed precisely with cues in the video.  They interact with you, spin you around in your chair to reveal different scenes, and take your headset off at the end of the video to reveal the climax taking place in the room in front of you.

Here, theater moved forward adding a new dimension to the storytelling. In turn, virtual reality made an advancement in both its innovative narrative and captivating use of sense beyond the technology. It was a truly hidden gem.
