					Fields of Fuel was an epic film. It was a long arduous journey. It took about 3 years to make. And we both made a commitment, that we would not come back to Sundance unless with the idea that our film would show here. If your film does not get into Sundance, you are going upstream. The stakes are so difficult. 1000 films are submitted in the documentary section, 16 are selected.
					<br><br>
					We are Primarily an independent, grassroots film that was funded by the Midwest farmers. For us it was everything.  To be here now and to have the film showcase. Josh and I, everything gets easy at this point. Because, what's probably more important about this particular festival is that Robert Redford is such an environmentalist. And his whole thing behind protecting the environment, global warming , climate action, all of those thesis an themes that  are important for Sundance.
					<br><br>
					Everyone asks us that question, What's the plan?  Is Fields of Fuel going to get a theatrical release? Absolutely. Whose the right marketing distribution company that can work with Fields of Fuel that  really can help champion this film around the country?  Can Fields of Fuel sustain and become, if not the 3rd most important environmental film that's going to be out in the marketplace.
					<br><br>
					Josh did not want to aggravate or divide. We can all come together, and we can all agree that we all want  clean air and fresh water. Bio fuel is not a controversial subject. It's the misappropriation of information that is going out there. There's not one renewable that going to solve the energy equation.  Really what the question should be asked, what is our government going to be doing in the next 3 to 5 or 10 years, Every time you put your nozzle in your gasoline,  you are sending money to the same people that are out there to kill us.
					<br><br>
					Sundance has definitely gone more green that it's ever gone before. And we're on our way.

					I drove a biodiesel car for 2 years. I drive a hybrid now. Biodiesel been around for such a long time, you're now hearing this for the first time.
					<br><br>
					This is a change film. This film is changing people's lives. When we showed the screening at the 16th at Robert Redford's reserve, inside the auditorium, you could just see people’s hearts. You could see the tears. You could see people for the first time; people were like in the biodiesel club.
					<br><br>
					So, when you ask the question, is this film going to change people's lives? Absolutely. I think it's going to move them. I think it's going to enable them. I think really what is great about the film is it's going to provide the building blocks for people to start changing step-by-step. You're going to have a lot of people that are going to be very like, no.  There's going to be a lot of people will be like, well, what do I got to do? And they're really going to go, and they're going to change.
					<br><br>
					I haven't really heard anyone say this is what my green energy policy is. I just don't hear it. I don't think they really know. I think that it's something where there needs to be someone like Amory Lovins from the Rocky Mountain Institute that needs to come out and brief these people. And say, hey this is the technologies, these are the renewable. This is how we are going to do it.
					<br><br>
					America is an agricultural powerhouse. There is so much opportunity from renewable.  We have to be conscientious. We have to be smart, and we have to be leaders. And the thing is about America, that once we get on that bandwagon, we're really, really good. It's just getting us on that bandwagon.
					<br><br>
					And I think one thing that Fields of Fuel offers is I think it will be the catalyst to get America on that band wagon.
