Today was a big day for the Fuel film. We found out that the movie played so well in Portland that it is being held over for a week -- which means if you're in Portland and you missed Fuel, there's still time to see it in the theater! In preparation for Fuel's release in the theater in Seattle on Friday (and running through next week), the Seattle Times published a great piece on the Fuel film's exploration of algae as an energy source (the Obama Administration sooooo needs to jump on board with algae -- it's going to be a huge money maker and job driver).

StopGlobalWarming.org put Fuel on its front page (thanks guys!), oh yeah and one other little tid bit -- the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also published its "Short List" of 15 documentary films that are now officially in competition for this year's Oscar -- and -- yes -- you guessed it -- Fuel is one of them. (See the Academy press release here).

Here is the list of Upcoming Events for Seattle:

We're looking forward to seeing all of you Fuel fans there:
