Overview

Beyond the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, this book looks at how every department on a production can minimize its environmental impact. Is your filmmaking contributing to the environmental crisis, or is it part of the solution? How can film students make movies in a more ecologically friendly way so that our planet can continue to be inhabited by humans who watch their films? This book suggests step-by-step ways that each person and department on a film’s production can make simple changes to reduce their project’s environmental footprint, from including climate content to offering vegetarian craft service options. It is an essential guide for film students, graduates, and professionals engaged in the practice of making movies.
