All That I Need

Let me just state for the record that I was not involved in the making of this movie (for the gentleman that thought all comments were from those involved). Now to give my honest assessment of the movie...

Although the filming at times was very dark and the camera work a little dizzying, I still felt compelled to watch the movie.

Haven't most of us at sometime in our lives wanted to be involved in a "get rich scheme which happens overnight"? Most of us however, have the good sense to know that you "can't get something for nothing". The "mastermind" (as another commentator called the main character), is like so many others who come to "Hollywood / CA" to become rich and famous. He's just a tad naive! That being said, I found myself rooting for him to get the hot babe, the hot car and make all his "champagne wishes and caviar dreams come true". It turned out to be a "cautionary tale".

At times I also questioned if I was watching something staged or a real event (almost like reality TV). I've since found out that the actors ad lib.

I can't wait to see what Mr. Hergott comes up with next!

It was a little dark when I saw it, but I hear that's because the first run was digitally broadcast. If it was shown on HD or film it would have been brighter. But its the story that got me. It was a little slow at first, but then interesting and exciting, until the last minute. I think everyone knows somebody who has been duped by a pyramid or get rich quick scheme. The characters are intriguing and seemed to be so real. Everyone I was with was wondering if it was real. But if it was real, how could they have captured the love scene and the one at the gym? These are questions that make you think maybe it wasn't real. All That I Need gets an "A" from me.

As one of 60 million people worldwide who had done pyramid schemes, this movie really hit's home. It keeps you on the "edge" of your seat and is worth the price of admission. This is a "must see" movie. It has all the elements that drive people, greed, lust, jealousy, etc. Friendships are tested and real life drama unfolds in front of your eyes. I am sure just about everybody can relate to this movie and for an "Indie" film to be picked up for distribution at the theaters is saying really how good this movie is. I rarely see movies more than once but tonight I am going again with a group of friends again. This movie really teaches you a valuable lesson about life.

I just got permission to release the following praise about our movie "All That I Need", and I thought I would share it with you;.......... "We at MOVIEBEAR TV viewed ,"ALL THAT I NEED" ,prior to CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 05. The film itself is extraordinarily authentic - and we were left rather puzzled, but intensely intrigued. Either this film is real, and this filmmaker got some fantastic footage or if it is staged, the acting is second-to-none. It provides a very interesting insight for anyone who has ever been slightly tempted by the extravagant promises that pyramid schemes offer (and who hasn't been at least once in their life?!). If you're interested in getting rich quick, this is a cautionary tale for you. We have expressed our interest to Mr.Hergott to acquire the movie for our online "Pay Per View network."

All That I Need, landed in theaters across the US last night!! Was a great turn out, intrigued audience members sat and concentrated on all the scheming going on throughout the movie. With myself and the women from Newport beach, CA , being the original Muffin Club Members. Friends and Family sat all around me at the Regal Colonnade Theater here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and believe me, my friends that I have just made out here in the last few months, and know only bits and pieces of what I was really involved with in this pyramid, they had tons of questions for me after the movie. For Example: "So how many times did you actually roll??". "How much did you make in this pyramid?", and I even got a "Mia, I'm scared of you now, your that good at scamming people?, followed by a cynical laugh or two.

So, from my perspective, its kind of an ambivalent feeling. Of course I want us all to profit from box office sales, then again, I don't want it to gain so much popularity that the FBI retraces our steps and starts following my tail again..........

Only time will tell, but as for Las Vegas, NV, better known as Sin City, this is one sin made public that will either make or break me and the rest of us involved in that pyramid. ...............MIA
