Biodiesel film wins Sundance award

Biodiesel expert and environmentalist Josh Tickell’s documentary about biodiesel and America’s need for fuel independence received one of the Sundance Film Festival’s top honors at the festival’s awards ceremony in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 26.

“Fields of Fuel” was chosen for the Audience Award for Best Documentary Film and was presented to Tickell by host William H. Macy. The film’s producer and other crew members accompanied Tickell onstage to accept the award. In his acceptance speech, Tickell said, “May we work together to create a green and sustainable future.”
Tickell has been working on the film for the past 10 years. After being accepted for Sundance, Tickell was invited to Sundance founder Robert Redford’s private resort for a screening of the film the night before the kickoff of the festival.
