Bring Me The Beauties: A Model Cult
Directed by Chris Smith (HBO's Emmy®-winning 100 Foot Wave), this three-part docuseries chronicles how Hoyt Richards was drawn into the spiritual group Eternal Values by its enigmatic leader Frederick von Mierers. Leveraging the glamorous world of 1980s New York, von Mierers attracted a community of young models and professionals, seducing them with his New Age cocktail of metaphysical and spiritual teachings. Told through Hoyts’ intimate, first-person narration, the series traces how he became captivated by the larger-than-life guru and eventually helped fund the group as one of the world’s first male supermodels. Incorporating archival footage and accounts from former members, the three-part series reveals how von Mierers entangled his followers in a web of fabrication and exploitation, as questions emerge about whether he was who he claimed to be.
