## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Oscar night, 1929, the Shrine Auditorium. A single gunshot echoes over sequins. Tom Mix steps from the crowd, Wyatt Earp straightens his tie beside him.

A studio mogul drops dead mid-speech. Each clue points back to the Kodak Theatre’s basement, where reels of yesterday’s scandals flicker.

Like a vintage newsreel with the sound dialed down, this one lingers.

**Mood tags**: playful
