July 07, 2006 - San Francisco Rolls Out Red Carpet for Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth
Movie Premiere & After Party Draw Record Crowds
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The local eco-glitterati turned out in droves for the San Francisco premiere of Al Gore’s new movie “An Inconvenient Truth” on Friday evening June 2, 2006. As a result, the Landmark Embarcadero Center Cinema in San Francisco earned the coveted No. 1 spot in the nation for this awe-inspiring movie.
The crowd on the red carpet included producer Lawrence Bender, Graham Leggat, Margaret O’Leary, Roxanne Klein, Joe Alioto and Erica Galos, Joel Makower, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, Vantage Point’s Bill Green, Diana Westnedge, Whole Foods NorCal President Anthony Gilmore, and Prius designer David Shearer.
Just a short stroll away, the After Party kicked into high gear at The Holding Company. Hosted by Nadine Weil and Zem Joaquin, the packed celebration enabled guests to meet Hollywood producer Lawrence Bender (An Inconvenient Truth, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs) and hear how he first envisioned the film while watching Al Gore’s global warming presentation in Beverly Hills.
More than 600 guests sipped on Square One™ organic vodka martinis and ogled cutting-edge solutions to global warming from Friends of the Urban Forest, Planktos, Energy Star, TerraPass carbon offsets, Global Green, and CalCars plug-in hybrids.
The Paramount Classics global warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” is taking the nation by storm, breaking per-screen records and receiving rave reviews such as the San Francisco Chronicle’s Mick LaSalle’s proclamation: “An Inconvenient Truth is the most important movie anyone will make this year.” Roger Ebert exclaimed, “In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film.”
