The following is a little background on Nikos…
Nikos Spiridakis, age 12, has always had visual ideas when it comes to telling stories and is inspired by things he encounters in everyday life. He came up with the idea for the Global Warming PSA, *Save It *while sitting in a car at a gas station. He was able to get it made under the mentoring of producer, Marshall Herskovitz and his godfather, Tony Goldwyn who appears in the PSA with Nikos’ little brother, Dimitri. It has since been viewed on YouTube where it premiered at #2 for non-profits as a 1Sky PSA. It played as well on CNN and MSNBC, the nights of the October 2008 Presidential Debates and has since been released on Weinstein Home Video DVD’s such as *THE READER*.

Nikos became the Jr. Goodwill Ambassador of a Renewable Energy Organization and received his honor at a United Nations Ceremony, along with other honorees, John Paul DeJoria *(CEO of Paul Mitchell Systems, Patron)* and Josh Tickell *(Director of FUEL). *His PSA has been featured by Josh Tickell at screenings of *FUEL* where Nikos also participated in an Earthday panel. He was selelcted as a guest speaker for the LA IDEA Project in the fall of 2009. Nikos’ PSA will be shown at the AVATAR Earth Day Celebration on Earth Day Celebration 2010 in Los Angeles.
Nikos hopes his video can help to educate Governments and Corporations around the globe to the urgency the children of our planet feel in asking us to “Save It”for their future. ….
We are very proud to know Nikos, and wish him the best of luck! Keep up the great work….!

Nick,
Unbelievably terrific short on the absolute horror of the US dependence on the finite resource of fossil fuel. What took 200 million years to create, through decay and pressure, we are about to consume in 200 years. It’s truly scary, and your film does a great job of portraying that fear. I share the fear for our planet with you.
