In Advisor Studio sessions, Sundance Collab Advisors share field experiences and insights into their specific areas of craft, including writing, directing and producing for TV and film.
Now more than ever, it’s crucial to rethink our impact on the planet. Filmmaking has a reputation for being wasteful, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be a driving force for activism, awareness, and meaningful social change. Let’s harness the power of storytelling to create a more sustainable future—both on and off the screen.
In this exclusive Advisor Studio with author, filmmaker and professor Kent Hayward goes through key principles from his new book, Green Filmmaking, A Guide to Sustainable Movie Production. This book is a step-by-step look at the ways that each person in a film’s production can make simple changes to reduce the environmental footprint of moviemaking.
In this interactive 60-minute session, Hayward focuses on working with participants to create appropriate action for change where they are and in what they are doing. Whether you’re an industry veteran new to sustainability or setting out to make your first film, you’ll gain valuable insights into this new and burgeoning side of the industry. This presentation will give you the knowledge and power to make your own set green and inspire others to do the same.
