DESCRIPTION:Ecosexual Film Fundraiser\nGoodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love 
 Story\nWith a Vegan Appalachian Feast, Ecosex Slide Show & Tell, and a 
 Sneak preview of "Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love 
 Story"\n\nECOSEXUAL FILM FUNDRAISER GIVES BIRTH TO A NEW FILM 
 GENRE \n\nSan Francisco, CA.— “The ecosexual movement is growing like 
 a weed, and San Francisco is the hot bed of the movement! ” say film 
 makers, Beth Stephens, UCSC art professor and environmental activist and 
 her partnerAnnie Sprinkle, a feminist porn film star and pioneer. They aim 
 to grow the ecosex movement by hosting a fundraiser for their upcoming 
 documentary, Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story, complete 
 with an Appalachian Dinner Party, a slide show and tell about ecosexuality, 
 and a sneak preview of their new film.  Everyone is invited to the Center 
 for Sex and Culture to see what Earth First News says is, “Without 
 compare, the sexiest nature documentary and one of the most profound films 
 to deal with the beauty and tragedy of the Appalachian Mountains in the age 
 of King Coal.” \n\nStephens and Sprinkle explain, “We are switching 
 the metaphor from the “Earth as mother,” to “Earth as lover” to 
 create a more mutual and sustainable relationship with our abused and 
 exploited planet. We also want to seduce people who are not normally 
 reached to join the environmental activist movement, such as the GLBTQ 
 community, sex radicals, and artists. \n\nGoodbye Gauley Mountain: An 
 Ecosexual Love Story is the true tale of the two San Francisco 
 “ecosexual” artist-lovers who join forces with environmental activists 
 in the quest for environmental justice, and try to stop a destructive form 
 of mining. It’s a David and Goliath struggle for survival in the 
 coalfields narrated through an autobiographical family visit home. This 
 documentary goes where others haven’t, injecting this dire situation with 
 sexy fun and surprising activist strategies, such as a performance art 
 marriage to the mountains. Goodbye Gauley Mountain raises awareness about 
 the devastation of mountain top removal (MTR) mining, while celebrating the 
 Earth in all her/his ecosexual glory. The filmmakers believe that inviting 
 people to be lovers with the Earth is creating paradigm shifts for many 
 people who don’t feel connected with nature. \n\nWhat promises to be a 
 celebratory evening of putting the Earth on top, with delicious vegan food, 
 non-alcoholic moonshine, popcorn, and an ecosexy show and tell 
 presentation, will likely inspire more people to join the ecosex movement 
 and more ecosexual movies to come.\n\nThis is the first public sneak 
 preview of this new film, three years in the making, which will soon have 
 its world premiere. All proceeds from the event will go to towards color 
 correction and final sound mix expenses.  Stephens and Sprinkle will be 
 hosting the world’s first Ecosex Film Festival in the summer because they 
 say, “We believe ecosex films can help save our planet.” \n\nCould 
 this new film genre help raise awareness of environmental causes? The 
 filmmakers shout, YES!\n\nMarch 30, Saturday.\n\n6:30 P.M. Vegan
