Actor, performer, and multi-platinum rock icon Meat Loaf reveals surprising shades of himself - and a fertile creative mind in constant flux - in this intimate and highly-entertaining theatrical feature documentary that was celebrated as an official selection of the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival. The time is early 2007, one of the most stressful in Meat Loaf's career, when he is about to launch his most ambitious tour ever: an 18 month long marathon to support Bat Out of Hell III , the final album of the legendary "Bat Out of Hell" trilogy. His exhausting, and often poignant, journey takes him from Burbank, California through the first leg of his tour through Canada. Along the way, an unexpected media controversy erupts over the staging of one of his songs - a controversy that raises questions about his art and its ability to mature and transcend as it traverses multiple generations - bringing into focus the drive (and demons) that have fueled his over-the-top stage persona for almost 40 years.

Directed by Bruce David Klein, Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise captures all of the vibrant, emotional and often intense moments both on and off stage throughout the singer’s rehearsals, opening shows and ultimately, the first leg of his most ambitious worldwide tour to date. The film witnesses Meat Loaf battle time, budget and determination, all for the sake of putting on the best show possible for his passionate legion of fans.

Utilizing VOOM HD Network's state-of-the-art technology, Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise will be presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound audio and in pristine high definition video to make the concert experience come to life. Of the audio/visual experience, VOOM General Manager Greg Moyer says, "this project allows us to offer our audience a dynamic and star-powered documentary that capitalizes on the 5.1 surround sound audio opening the eyes of the critical tastemakers and general consumers alike, to the profound and immersive power of the emerging HDTV experience."

Meat Loaf first earned massive critical and commercial acclaim with his 1977 debut Bat Out of Hell. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the album produced three Top 40 singles—"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth"—and became one of the best-selling albums of the decade. Meat Loaf also achieved tremendous success with 1993’s Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, which sold over five million copies and spawned the massive hit single "I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)." Apart from his success as a musician, Meat Loaf has also acted on Broadway and appeared in over 50 movies or television shows including memorable roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Fight Club.
