Exciting Opening of must-see film FUEL!

Posted by: Jenni Boran on Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Fuel’ (previously ‘Fields of Fuel’ at TheFilmSchool’s partner-in-independent-film-appreciation SIFF this June) is opening soon!

After SIFF and the drop in the alternative fuels market that occurred after the film’s success at Sundance (where it received the Audience Award) the film has been edited down, making it tighter. It has been submitted to the Academy for this year so let’s make these openings a success!

FUEL’ can be seen in:

Portland, OR opening 11/14 at the Fox Tower Stadium
Seattle, WA opening 11/21 at Varsity 3
Austin, TX opening 11/21 at Arbor Cinemas at Great Hills.
