LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/01/08 -- Apple Corps Ltd./Cirque du Soleil willpartner with The BiggerPicture, an AccessIT company(NASDAQ: AIXD), and AEG Network LIVE to bring the highly acclaimedfeature-length documentary "All TogetherNow" to digital cinemaaudiences on October 20th. This one night only event follows well-receivedfilm festival screenings across North America, including a sold out openingnight U.S. premiere at the Silverdocs Festival in Washington D.C. where theWashington Post observed that "All Together Now" "cuts into the heart of[LOVE]."

These screenings precede the October 21 release of "All Together Now" onDVD, which will be marketed and distributed worldwide by EMI Music andavailable in the U.S. exclusively at Best Buy.

"Seeing this documentary on the big screen will truly be a movingexperience for the viewer as they witness the creation of the show LOVE,"says director Adrian Wills. "The digital cinema projection and amazing 5.1sound allow us to envelop the audience in the grandiose visual world of Cirque du Soleil and legendary music of The Beatles."

Cinema-goers will have the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes with a grandprize that will include a pair of tickets to LOVE(TM) Tapis Rouge(TM), anexclusive behind-the-scenes experience of the show; roundtrip airfare fortwo within the continental U.S. to Las Vegas, and a three day/two nightstay at the Mirage; a copy of every Beatles CD currently in release; and acopy of the "All Together Now" DVD.

"All Together Now" has screened at a number of festivals in the U.S. andacross Canada in 2008, and accolades have followed. Among them wereRolling Stone's praise of its sweeping visual style and "many insightfulinterviews." Las Vegas Magazine called "All Together Now" "remarkable" andVariety observed that the film "wowed audiences."

The documentary details the story behind the unique partnership between TheBeatles and Cirque du Soleil that resulted in the creation and 2006 launchof LOVE, the stage production still playing to packed houses at The Miragein Las Vegas, and the experimental Beatles soundscape album of the samename which garnered two Grammy Awards for producers Sir George and GilesMartin. The movie is dedicated to the memory of Neil Aspinall, former CEOof Apple Corps and an Executive Producer of the DVD.

The director, Adrian Wills, traveled between London, Montreal, and LasVegas, recording early meetings between the Cirque du Soleil & Apple CorpsLtd. creative teams, as well as filming contributions from Sir PaulMcCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrisondiscussing how The Beatles' music can be used in a different way. Notingthe uniqueness of these interactions, Wills explains, "What surprised methe most was how human the whole process was."

These early stages of the project were all filmed, as were the firstrehearsals at the Mirage Hotel theatre in Las Vegas, which was completelyrebuilt with a one-of-a-kind sound system and complex round staging tohouse the LOVE show. Sir George and Giles Martin, the show's MusicalDirectors, were involved every step of the way with the remarkable Cirquedu Soleil creative team, performers and backroom staff.

It wasn't all "plain-sailing" and there has been no attempt to disguisesome of the disagreements that took place along the way regarding how someof the songs would be portrayed visually. These creative differences, anecessary part of the overall process of bringing LOVE to its most vibrantlife, illustrate the participants' love and respect for the music andvision of The Beatles.
