Plot

When Beach Boy Dennis Wilson introduced his new pal to the L.A. music scene, sparks began to fly. Charlie, an intense young singer-songwriter, soon was penning songs for the Beach Boys on his way to worldwide fame. Unfortunately, this new-found fame was not of the musical variety. You see...Charlie's last name... was Manson. This project stems from the short film, "LIE," filmed for the Atlanta History Center and Minnesota Historical Society.—Jesse Meehl
