The Problem
The motion picture industry has created a expansive threat to the environment. Filming produces a lot of waste and energy in the many departments that make up a film. While some large budget films have started to take up “green filming”. 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. The problem in the motion picture industry today is the lack of sustainability and environmental consideration in the filming process.
The Solution
The solution to this epidemic is eco based production. My project is an independent production company (smaller and indie films), geared towards producing more eco friendly and cost efficient films. Forward Films has a three part structure that tackles the three threats of production pollution:
The executive initiative will track and eliminate waste by organization of the departments in a film.
The structural initiative will provide an energy efficient space for filmmakers to create.
The outreach initiative will spread the urgency of implementing eco based filming in the industry and influence other companies to take part.
