I saw the World Premier of OilCrash! at the SXSW Film Festival. Extremely powerful -- very sobering.  Very comprehensive discussion of the peak oil issue.  Quite impressive.

Includes Bartlett, Simmons, Matt Savinar, David Goodstein, former OPEC Oil Minister and Iraq Oil Minister, several senior oil industry folks, Colin Campbell, other experts and so on.  

The film is very good for folks who don't really understand or "buy in" to the idea of Peak Oil yet, but is also an excellent resource of facts, sometimes startling, for those of us who do.

Numerous statistics and lots of logical analysis, and understandable.  During the Q&A almost every audience member began their questions with, "Thank you, thank you for doing this film"  or  "I had no idea, I'm stunned."  One question was, "...so when I talk to my family about this, what is your best estimate of the timeframe of when the sh-- will hit the fan?"  

The Producers, journalists from Switzerland, reported that they are actively seeking a Distribution Agreement.  They have hired a firm in NY to help with this.   They also repeatedly stated that they had no political agenda in the making of this film, rather they are simply journalists -- they researched as best they could and put together what they learned.  They said even they were shocked with the truth of what they discovered in the making of the film. They understand the importance of the film and will post updates on their website, http://www.oilcrashmovie.com".

Present for the post-film Q&A for the world premier were David Room and Matt Savinar, and on the second screening included Jim Baldauf (interim President of ASPO-USA).

I meant to bring my giant wooden cutout of a fire breathing Jesus with flaming red eyes to the premier to admonish people that the end is near and to "turn or burn! turn or burn!"

I thought the film was overall good but I shouldn't have let them rearrange my office to make it look like a survivalist bunker.

Best,

Matt
