Fields of Fuel FUNdraiser Acclaimed biodiesel expert and filmmaker Joshua Tickell will hold a fundraiser for his upcoming feature documentary Fields of Fuel. Tickell will be joined by a host of other biodiesel personalities including event M.C. Betty Biodiesel known in the Bay Area for her Biofuels 4 Schools Program and Charris Ford, biodiesel activist and star of Rocky Mountain Film Fest's winning environmental documentary, French Fries to Go. The FUNdraiser will be a compilation of short films, music and skits on the subject of biodiesel, a fuel made from any type of vegetable oil.
Famous for his "Veggie Van USA Tours" in the late 1990's (www.VeggieVan.org), Joshua Tickell has been working with biodiesel fuel since he saw it on a farm in Germany in 1996. After two tours in his Veggie Van and a book (From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank: The Complete Guide to Using Vegetable Oil as an Alternative Fuel), Tickell settled on making the film. "It's the only way to create a critical mass around biodiesel," he says. Tickell will show his short film The Veggie Van Voyage; Charris Ford will present French Fries to Go; Several local musicians will perform; Tickell will give a biodiesel slide show; there will be a raffle of cool prizes from local businesses, and a public forum to discuss biodiesel. The goal of the benefit is to raise $20,000, enough for the film crew of Fields of Fuel, to complete their first leg of filming through Europe. Tickets are available at the event or advance purchase online at www.VeggieVan.org. For more information, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Steve Spence www.green-trust.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
