ABOUT:

Relocating for a job is never fun unless it's for something or someone you love. Lubie Love is a story of one trucker, one love, one country addicted to oil. It is about leaving behind the daily grind, packing up everything for someone and discovering first hand the grandeur and potential of love in a country, albeit caught between war and an economy in flux. From verifying the news and facts on one of the country's most heated topics - energy - Lubie Love humorously pulls back the sheets on the marketers, manufacturers and consumers that make America a great Capitalist society.

Inspired from a cross country love affair, documentary film maker Mason Hayutin, in conjunction with Peck Slip Studios, set's the tone on a much larger phenomenon: the difficult choice to buy green or buy bling. Ethanol, natural gas, bio-diesel, electric and hydrogen are all near or close to production alternatives today - at least that's what the commercials tell you. In just 2 short years (2003 to 2005), the price to drive across the country actually doubled: Hayutin's initial East bound trip went from $500 to keep his unleaded rental truck's tank full to $800 going West! In 2008, we all know gas was out of control.

Throughout, Hayutin asks both from behind the camera and from behind the wheel of his truck, questions of many Americans (yes everyday folks and experts in the field) and comes to a resounding answer on why we are not just in love with our vehicles but how we are actually addicted to the great American love affair of driving at all costs.
