In the Need for Greed

“All That I Need” (www.allthatineed.net) is a cinema verite “mockumentary” feature film, in the genre of “The Blair Witch Project” or “Supersize Me.” In “All That I Need,” a group of people involved in a Muffin Club pyramid scheme in Newport Beach, enticed by the idea of a huge payoff, watch their fellow investors take down huge amounts of money and enjoy lavish lifestyles. The camera captures as greed leads to distrust and the breakdown of the pyramid happens in a thrilling surprise conclusion that lands the greedy parties in jail. The film was released in theaters by our distribution subsidiary, Imperia International Distribution, Inc. for a limited release from December 2, 2005 through December 9, 2005. The limited release of the film gathered national attention, and the main thrust of our sales will be DVD sales and cable and international television rights. Sales have been made for television in Scandanavia, Lithuania and Cyprus.

TELEVISION LIBRARY

The New Three Stooges
The New Three Stooges is a syndicated TV series that ran from 1965-1966. The 156 cartoons with 41 live action sequences, were produced by Cambria Studios, a West Hollywood animation production studio most famous for its wide usage of the Syncro-Vox technique of animation developed by Edwin Gillette, who was a co-partner in the studio. All the animation was made under the supervision of Lee Orgel. Four cartoons were produced to correspond thematically with each of the forty one live-action Stooge opening and closing sequences, so that one live-action sequence could serve as a wraparound for four different cartoons. The voices of the cartoon “stooges” were made by real stooges Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Joe De Rita.
