DUBAI, UAE – Ruth Vitale of The Film Collective announced today that veteran film distributor MJ Peckos – through her DADA FILMS – will release ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE in U.S. theaters on October 31st in New York and Los Angeles, with an expansion to follow.
Produced by Portfolio Films America – ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE is a documentary that focuses on the lives and dreams of the children of Good Morning School in the district of Mae Sot, Thailand. Mae Sot is a town on the Thai-Burma border where hundreds of thousands of Burmese nationals have chosen to live as a result of the repressive actions taken by Burma’s military junta. They fled from Burma and escaped to Mae Sot and other towns along the border with the hope that they will be able to sustain their families and become free from fear.
However, the vast majority of Burmese living on the border exist as people without nationality, rights, or any solid future. This is the harsh reality that the Burmese children in Mae Sot have to face every day. The documentary highlights not just their plight, but also the positive way that these children go about their lives in conditions and under circumstances we dare not even imagine.
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE is Directed by Stuart Cameron, Produced by Stuart Cameron and Meddy Ezrah Ortega, Executive Produced by Suzy Amis Cameron, Patrick Dunn, and Stu Higton of octopus Advertising in Dubai.
\”We are traditional documentary filmmakers and it was critical that our distributors understood our approach and shared our passion for the project,\” said Director Stuart Cameron. \”Ruth Vitale, MJ Peckos and DADA films totally got it and have delivered the creativity, energy, and experience required that now provides us with the chance to connect with an audience the subject deserves.\”
“We are excited to bring this important and inspirational story to U.S. Audiences who are hungry to be entertained, inspired, and motivated to make a positive change in the world,” said The Film Collective’s Ruth Vitale.
“ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE has brought to the screen the simple, beautiful and inspiring stories of many of the children we at MUSE have been supporting on the Thai Burma Border since the Spring of 2006. Reality on film is increasingly difficult to capture. Stuart and his team have done a remarkable job to keep true to classic documentary principles, delivering a film that succeeds without reverting to exaggeration, gratuity or preaching. It has been a joy to be involved in,” said Executive Producer Suzy Amis Cameron.
