Embracing sustainability in filmmaking for a greener future.

Keeping our film shoots green involves adopting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices to minimize the environmental impact

We encourage energy-efficient equipment, such as LED lights and energy-efficient appliances, to reduce energy consumption.

Everywhere possible, we use battery stations for on-set energy needs, instead of fuel generators.

We encourage carpooling or the use of eco-friendly vehicles for cast and crew transportation.

For short distances, we use alternative transportation methods, such as bicycles or electric vehicles.

We have implemented a comprehensive waste management plan to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials on set.

We provide clearly marked recycling bins for cast and crew for proper waste disposal.

We choose locally sourced and sustainably produced food.

We always use only reusable or compostable servingware and utensils to minimize single-use plastic waste.

We aim to minimize water usage during filming by using water-efficient equipment and practices.

We embrace digital processes for scripts, call sheets, and other paperwork to reduce paper usage.

We encourage digital communication to minimize the need for printed materials.

We consider the environmental impact of costumes and set designs, opting for sustainable and recyclable materials.

We rent or repurpose costumes and set pieces to reduce waste.
