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
