Press Release Summary: New environmentally friendly film "A Passion for
Sustainability" to premiere on Netflix

Press Release Body: Metuchen, New Jersey (July 7, 2008) Landfall Productions and
Passion River Films will be distributing "A Passion for Sustainability," an
environmental documentary focusing on Portland, Oregon, the \"most sustainable city
in the United States.\" The documentary will be available on Netflix beginning
August 12th, 2008.

"A Passion for Sustainability" takes a look at what fourteen business leaders in
Portland, Oregon are doing to fight the battle of global warming, one of the biggest
challenges facing mankind today. Their weapon? The four scientific principles of
The Natural Step, an approach to sustainability originated in Sweden by Dr. Karl
Henrik Robert in 1993.

This environmental special was launched nationally on Earth Day on PBS and
celebrates a number of breakthrough ideas which can be applied anywhere in the
world. The Natural Step methods featured in the documentary have become a framework
for businesses, educators and individuals interested in learning how to make their
homes, businesses and communities more sustainable.

Director, writer, and producer, Eric Stacey and co-producer, Jane Turville
originally collaborated to make a short, celebration video for The Oregon Natural
Step's 10th anniversary. However, as the interviews and stories unfolded, they
realized the material would support a longer program for folks who had never heard
of The Natural Step.

The documentary premiered in Portland, Oregon at the Hollywood Theater in November
of last year. Since then it has been selected by numerous film festivals such as,
the International Film Festival of England and the Hazel Wolf Environmental Film
Festival. "A Passion for Sustainability" has also been awarded the 2008 Telly Award
for Excellence.
