You can often discover what people truly value when you find out what means the most to them. What is it that we believe we can’t live without?
More 4 Me is a documentary that follows film maker Lincoln Fenner of Creation Box Films through 7 countries across 5 continents as he asks everyone from actors and models to orphans and street sweepers the same simple question; “What’s the one thing you can’t live without?”
Are people in places like New York, London, Los Angeles and even Perth really that different from those living in a Kenyan orphanage, the slums of Nairobi or a remote Cambodian village? Is life really all about getting More 4 Me? Lincoln joined me in the studio this morning on 98.5 Sonshine FM.
Lincoln has been making films since 1999. His 2005 short film Another Chance was part of the Official Selection at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival and it screened in Manhattan that same year.
He holds a Diploma in Film Making (2001-2002) from the New York Film Academy (where he studied at their Universal Studios, Los Angeles school). In 2000, he graduated in London’s West End with a Foundation Certificate from Panico Films (now London Film Academy).
We spoke about the film and about the many answers people give to that one simple question. You can hear our conversation by clicking the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post.
What would your answer be? What is the one thing that you couldn’t live without?

Let’s see. If I say my wife by bike would get mad. If I say my bike, my wife would get mad. I reckon I could be spiritual and say “Jesus.” But He is not a thing. I am not very materialistic so I really don’t know what to say. There really is nothing I can’t live without. Since you are talking thing…I will say my bike.
