LOS ANGELES - From a Maseriati Quattroporte to a '57 Chevy pick-up, all the way to a Cigarette style speedboat, the new TV show "Ultimate Green Machines" will show that any vehicle can still run as fast if not faster than their stock counterparts while being green inside and out. For the series, the producers have assembled a dream team of "off-the-grid", defiant-minded mechanics and fabricators. This team not only thinks outside the box, they are ready to tear it up on the open road and do it green. The production team will also be producing a second show called "Finding Green", an equally intense, following a man with a burning passion and a need to meet a deadline imposed by his multi-million dollar investor. Cameras follow his every move along this often rocky road, as the clock ticks away on his dream.

It's not just the programming -- the Los Angeles production studio itself is eco-friendly at every possible level. The heart of both operations is Studio G, the first fully-functioning studio of its kind. A vintage warehouse located in downtown LA, Studio G uses only environmentally-friendly technology, sustainable and recycled materials, lights with low power LED lights and is powered entirely with solar and wind technologies.
The production company, EcoManiacal Productions has signed an exclusive deal with Target Entertainment for the rights to the international sale and distribution of these two first-of-a-kind projects, Ultimate Green Machines and Finding Green. The announcement was made today by EcoManiacal's President and Founder, Rick Underhill. "Our goal was to align our product and our message with someone strong internationally and Target is the best in the business. The vibe is right," said Underhill.
