Project Description & Explanation
The Film Industry produces a lot of waste; for example, according UCLA Institute of the Environment, film studios will easily produce 3,000 tons of waste in a five-month shoot. These materials may range from water bottles consumed by crew, to the props and set materials There are many departments that make up a film, each emitting its own generous amount of litter and wasted energy. Some large budget films have started to take up “green filming,” however many smaller and Indie films (with limited filming time and a smaller budget) have not taken into consideration the environmental costs of producing a film. 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.
