About this event

The quirky and relatable film is about our complicated relationship with the stuff in our lives, and the stuff from which happiness is truly made. On the surface, Do I Need This? is a joy ride through American excessive consumption habits. At its core, it is a deep and genuine reflection on aging, family, and happiness.

Here is some of the early response we have received:
