Conservation
Rain Bird, the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products
and services, tonight announced the winners of the 2008 Intelligent Use
of Water™ Film Competition (http://www.iuowfilm.com),
an environmentally focused film competition that gave both amateur and
experienced filmmakers the opportunity to showcase their talents and use
the power of film to bring about a greater awareness of the need for
responsible water use. Following this evening’s
screening event at The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden, in
which each of the five finalists’ films were
viewed by attendees and judges, filmmakers David Sutera and Michael
McGuire were presented with the Jury Prize and the Audience Choice Prize
respectively for their film entries titled Glass Half Full and Water
Thicker Than Oil.
“All of the finalists in the competition have
taken on the world’s water issues through a
personal lens that will undoubtedly encourage discussion on the
efficient, effective and responsible use of Earth’s
most precious resource,” said Dave Johnson,
Rain Bird’s Corporate Marketing Director.
