Ethan Van Duzer, a 2006 business graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder, is a semi-finalist in the international film competition "Film Your Issue 2007."
The competition is limited to young adults, aged 16 to 25, who were required to create a one-minute film about controversial cultural and political issues.
A resident of Boulder, the 23-year-old Van Duzer is a passionate cyclist who has never had a driver's license and does not own a car. Called "Give A Hoot," Van Dozur's film explains how his love of cycling evolved into a "conscious decision to consume more moderately, while at the same time act environmentally responsible."
"Film Your Issue 2007" is an Internet-based global competition, sponsored by some of the leading global-media companies and cause organizations in the world. The public and a VIP Jury will select three winners. Voting began May 18 and continues until midnight, May 31. To view Van Duzer's film and to vote, go to .
Winners will attend an awards ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on June 26 and their films will be broadcast on Starz, Starz Cinema and Starz Edge. The grand-prize winner will be awarded an internship this summer at Universal Pictures.
