Be it as it may, this was the very first Neil Breen film I have had the chance to witness. I went into this film thinking it'd be a joke, a farce on the cinematic world. But I emerged a stronger film maker, a more genuine person, and a more reflective human being. Neil Breen truly has a way with implanting subtle messages throughout his film that the viewer will truly have to dig deep to find. It took me about three viewings to find the true message of this film, and I will say that once that message is found, it will change your life forever. I one day hope to become as caring and generous as The Being in this film. I believe that The Being is Neil Breen's personification of what a connected society will look like one day within our confines. This to me, speaks true genius. Neil Breen, to me, is the reincarnation of Jean-Luc Godard, and it shows in every aspect of his films, from his cinematography to the way his actors portray true human emotion in every line, every breath, and every movement. Everybody who is anybody or wants to be anybody needs to take the time to watch I Am Here.... Now.

... View MoreOne thing you can say about Neil Breen's film-making career is that he is gradually improving on the technical side of things. In a relative sense, at least.This movie has a far less ambiguous morality than Breen's debut, 'Double Down'. There's a message here, and you really can't miss it. In fact, the message is the same as 'Birdemic', as it firmly gets behind behind renewable energy and protecting the environment. Many earnest speeches hammer this home, as do the baddies' conversations about how bad they are.The Being (Breen) falls to earth in a paperweight, then manifests in the desert with stigmata and some circuit boards attached to his arms and chest. It is made clear that he created the earth and he is not at all happy about how it has turned out.The movie follows the fortunes of various characters, whose lives are redeemed or punished by The Being's intervention. I won't give too much away, but there's some unconvincing screaming, several repeated scenes and lots of heavy symbolism. There is also lots of exposition and enough Breen-esque voice-overs to satisfy the faithful.Neil Breen films are unique. Until you have seen one, you won't really get his unique vision. They are also a textbook showreel of getting it wrong that all film students should study.

Do all the women in Las Vegas wear those spaghetti strap blouses with the two top buttons open to show their chests? Couldn't they get any actors for this? Why do they use the same scream over and over? What's with the monster mask? Why, why why am I watching this? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Writer, Producer and Director Neil Breen stars as a space Jesus who comes to Earth in a glass paperweight to check up on his failed experiment - humanity. The corrupt politicians and lying lawyers play out their efforts to hamper the development of sustainable energy systems in halting stilted monologues. Economic conditions force people into crime, dismemberment and depravity, and the space Jesus makes the bad guys bleed from their eyes for menacing a cancer patient in a wheelchair. I wouldn't be fool enough to compare this unique creation with anything else - it's created a whole new reality for itself. It's like a metaphor - FOR LIFE. I only hope we are ready when Neil Breen's glass paperweight returns once more to Earth.
