Sundance Film Fest: Fields of Fuel

The Sundance Film Festival is showcasing a number of “green” movies this year.  First up is Fields of Fuel.  They finally got the trailer up on their site the other day and you can see it below.  Now, I’ve heard rave reviews so I was excited about finally watching the trailer.  The only thing was, I could exactly tell what the movie was going to be about after watching it.  I’m pretty sure its about biodiesel from the one picture of the biodiesel gas pump and the fields.  When I first saw the fields and talking about our oil addiction, I was really concerned that it was going to talk mostly about just plain old ethanol. Maybe its a first edition trailer?

IMDB tells us: The film tells the story of biodiesel, an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Made from vegetable oil, it is non-toxic, has low carbon dioxide emissions and can ultimately replace all liquid fuels used in the United States, thus freeing America’s dependence on oil needed for gasoline. 

I’d really recommend checking out their daily Sundance blog.   Will this ever make it out of indy status and be distributed?  I’d love to give a review myself, but maybe I will one day when I get to see it.  I do have Everything’s Cool on the old DVR – that was the standout eco-flick from last year’s Sundance Film Festival.  Look for my own review on that very soon.
