SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Soleil Film, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SFLM) announced today that its completed documentary feature film, "All That I Need," is now under consideration by the Selection Committee of the Cannes Film Festival. Only films selected by the Committee are invited to be a part of the official competition. An announcement will be made by the Committee at its press conference in late April as to whether "All That I Need" will compete. Major Hollywood studios have found that the festival, which draws over 4,000 journalists and a high concentration of global distributors and exhibitors, is one of the best places to launch a new blockbuster. Those choosing not to premiere, such as "Terminator 3", hold elaborate parties and show extended trailers and previews. Last year's documentary blockbuster, "Fahrenheit 9/11" premiered at Cannes, won the Palm D'Or and went on to gross over $109 million domestically.
Sales estimates of $6-12 million are projected for "All That I Need," a reality movie in the genre of "Super Size Me," which grossed over $28 million in theatrical release worldwide, and "The Blair Witch Project," which grossed over $140 million. This year's Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 11th through 21st. "All That I Need" will have its premiere showing during the Festival.
