Our assistant editor/graphic designer extrodinaire, Neal Sickles, was scheduled to fly from Los Angeles into Salt Lake City at midnight last night with the final edit of Fields of Fuel for this morning's World Premeiere. Unfortunately, the techno gods were not with us and the tape was unplayable. So, our co-producer Darius Fisher jumped a flight with a fresh tape in L.A. early this morning, arrived to SLC at 8:56 a.m. We sent a car, and a back-up car to get him, and they are now apparently 10 minutes away. We don't know, however if the Sundance officials will allow us to use the new cut of the film, or if they will make use screen the version that we turned into them last week!

To top things off, we got half a foot of snow overnight, and the roads are slick! Josh, though calm on the exterior, had this to say this morning: "The tape's 10 miles from Park City, it's snowing like crazy, and I don't have enough tickets to my own #%*& movie."

Countdown, one hour to the premiere now. We had a star-studded VIP party last night for Fields of Fuel supporters -- more details and pics later today -- but the roster included Woody Harrelson, Morgan Spurlock (who is here with his new documentary "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?"), Armand Assante, Paul Mitchell CEO and cofounder John Paul DeJoria, Jimmy Jean-Louis (Heroes), and Jeff Dowd, the character on which Jefferey "The Dude" Lebowski was based; all committed activists in the environmental movement.

Just saw this movie

Congrats to "Team FieldsofFuel." What an inspiring film. My 10-year-old son saw this with me today at Sundance. His comment says it all..."Mom, I feel like I have to do something." Me, too!. Everyone should see this. Can't someone trap all the presidential candidates in a room and insist that they watch it? But wait...a more important message awaits the viewing public. Our decisions as consumers are a more powerful mechanism for change than any politician's actions or inaction. I guess that means that if I don't act on my instincts, I am part of the problem. Good luck Josh for wide distribution.
