This is a great read. For those who are not familiar with sustainable consultancies, this is a beautiful quote from Green Eye Productions about sustainable consultancy services: "We plan with you from the beginning. That's what will help the most. Consultancies are also familiar with the land and layout, the suppliers, and the regional availability. Consultancies have the added benefit of having worked on multiple productions...but also have a presence in the industry at large, lobbying for new policies, keeping an eye on infrastructural updates, doing R&D projects, working on refining solutions, analyzing scripts from a sustainability POV, organizing events and drumming up interest across different departments or providing training and much more. Consultants are your link to the world; they have done the market analysis of your production needs to get state-of-the-art sustainability choices. Our job also entails meticulous data collection, so productions to come can benefit from the learnings we gain on each project while simultaneously ensuring all efforts are well-documented and reported, which is essential for the certification process. Finally, guiding the production through the certification process helps meet all criteria and standards required for the EMA Green Sea and benefits the industry in the long run. By partnering with a sustainability consulting company, productions can effectively integrate sustainability into their operations, achieving recognized standards for eco-friendly filmmaking."

There is a very important point made in this video. The film studios in LA were the catalysts for the growth of LA into a major metropolitan area (when you think of LA, you think of Hollywood and movie stars). Historically, major film studios have been the core of very dynamic ecosystems developing in the surrounding region. Consider the renaissance experienced by Albuquerque, New Mexico and the transition of Atlanta into a major production hub. A major film studio generates business growth because of the large amount of services and supplies it needs, the jobs it creates, the new entrepreneurships it causes, the tourism generated, and the more dynamic educational system necessary. Not to mention the tremendous increase in revenue to the surrounding government entities. Few industries are this powerful (oil industry and major manufacturing are two because of similar exponential drivers and outcomes. Health, aerospace, telecommunications, and legal are highly specialized, vertical economic systems with limited horizontal impact beyond their business purpose). Austin is receiving a transfusion of new ecosystem blood that will greatly add to its historic dependency on government and education and strengthen its ability to not only survive but thrive.

Behind the glamour of film production, an increasing number of industry eco warriors work tirelessly to ensure reduced carbon emissions long term, decarbonize productions, educate the entertainment sector and promote #climatestorytelling on screen: https://lnkd.in/g8thkQn5 🌎 #sustainableproduction #decarbonization
