(PressMediaWire) AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 14th, 2008— Owned Entertainment, Inc.
CEO
Eric Alfio, on behalf of Owned Entertainment, Inc., announced today
that the company has completed filming on a show set in the world of
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) with the working title "MMA Legacy".
Principal photography took place in July of this year and wrapped the
first week of August. Owned President James Hergott (All That I Need)
directed and executive produced the project along with Jason Chambers

MTV's "The Hills") and various additional locations in Long Beach,
California. Production Stills have begun to circulate, taken from set
photographer Mary L. Carter (mistressmary.net).
The project will now move into the post-production phase. In addition
to the cable show, Hergott may edit together a director's cut into a
"Pumping Iron" style film set for theatrical distribution.
Mr. Hergott comments, "We were lucky to have an exceptional cast
and crew. There was an amazing chemistry between the cast. It was
truly a once in a lifetime experience. The cast bonded like a family
and a number of amazing things happened during their time together and
we captured all of it on camera."
