Many indie films that consist of limited filming time and a smaller budget have not taken into consideration the environmental costs of producing a film. My target audience is businesses with less expansive projects in the motion picture industry.

The problem I am addressing is the waste that comes with smaller films, I am interested in this because it connects many of my passions. I feel very strongly about reducing humanities carbon footprint. I am an active member of several school and town organizations where I have gotten the chance to make a positive impact on sustainability in my local community. I also enjoy film making a lot. I run the film club at my school and organize several film festivals at my school and in my town. I have noticed that producing films comes with a lot of waste. I was inspired to highlight this problem and bring change. My three part initiative comes from three skills I have developed through my passions. I have experience in organizing start up businesses because of my dad. The business initiative of my project takes into the account the organization needed in a company to spark change. I also was inspired by my mechanical background in robotics to create a structural initiative to conserve energy on sets. Furthermore, while running several activist social platforms in high school, I was also inspired to spread the ideals of eco based filming through mixed media.

FORWARD FILMS breaks the boundaries of traditional film standards by designing an independent green film company that is geared towards producing environmentally friendly films. This could open an energy efficient and long-term cost effective avenue for smaller films to take when producing their art. My company could better our earth at a reasonable price to our audience of small film producers.

My idea is an independent production company (smaller and indie films), geared towards producing more eco friendly and cost efficient films.
