More good news for our friends at Fuel. Not only is the documentary opening in Los Angeles this week, but it received a highly favorable review in the Times. A little quotation pulled from the review:

"'Fuel' is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America's troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country's -- and the world's -- addictive dependence on fossil fuels."

Take that, Michael Moore.

Fuel will show for one week in Josh Tickell's hometown Los Angeles. Swing over to the Fuel website for the trailer, more news, and showtimes.

As you may remember, Fuel held its world premiere in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon, before a packed house. Since then the film has traveled the country, regularly selling out venues and extending stays everywhere it lands.

Oh, and Fuel was recently honored with the Environmental Media Association's Green Seal of Approval and the Dove Foundation's Family Seal of Approval for kids ages 12 and up. So book your tickets to L.A., find a nice hotel room, get yourself some dinner reservations at Dan Tana's, and see the film for yourself.

Tonight in Portland, friends of Josh Tickell's Fuel documentary will walk, bike, run, skip, navigate automobiles fueled by biodiesel, and sidle their way to the film's Sneak Preview downtown. It promises to be an exciting event that brings together attendees from many disciplines: software executives, local activists, biodiesel evangelists. You get the idea.

Fuel, which won the Sundance audience award for a Documentary (under the title Fields of Fuel), has been released with wider distribution this fall. The documentary will play in Portland on November 14th, followed by showings in Seattle, Austin, and Bend, OR. Their revamped site has some great interactive tools, including a form for demanding Fuel to be shown in your city, a media section bursting with video, audio and photographs, and various ways to get involved.

You can learn more about the film's premise on the website as well, including activities average film-goers can partake in to help reduce individual and nationwide dependence on fossil fuels.

Tonight's event is completely booked, but mark your calendars for November 14th and check the website for further details.
