Sold Out in Vancouver Again!

Thanks to everyone who made our second Vancouver screening a success!

Metro Vancouver provided the venue and helped us with promotions. Recycling Alternative brought recycling bins so people could drop off their batteries, styrofoam, and unnumbered plastics for proper recycling. And all the enthusiastic folks who saw us the first time around obviously told their friends to come, because the place was packed!

We had some pretty sweet door prizes from MEC, Innate, and Moukisac, and CBC even came down to film a bit during our Q & A at the gorgeous SFU Woodward's theatre downtown. Brian Burke, Peter Cech, and Greg Moore, who are all in the film were in attendance, so it was pretty special to share the film with them.

At least 4 teachers came up afterwards interested in school versions of the film (we're slowly working on it), and the environmental group from Cleveland Elementary school called Kids Gone Wild were actually in the audience. They do all kinds of great eco things like going for hikes, doing beach clean ups, and organizing waste free lunch day at their school. I hope other 5-7th graders are inspired by kids like this and start taking some action in their own schools!
