Green filming
protocol
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
Here is some of the procedures and practices we have adobted into the way of producing.
Everywhere possible, we use battery stations for on-set energy needs, instead of fuel generators.
For short distances, we use alternative transportation methods, such as bicycles or electric vehicles.
We provide clearly marked recycling bins for cast and crew for proper waste disposal.
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 encourage digital communication to minimize the need for printed materials.
We rent or repurpose costumes and set pieces to reduce waste.
