Is Your Documentary Film Green?

Ever wonder if making your documentary is causing damage to the environment?  Probably not, is my guess.  We filmmakers have enough to worry about!  Frankly, I never worried about polluting the environment when making my five films.

But a recent UCLA study exposed the film and television industry as the third biggest polluter in Los Angeles.

Yes, but I’m not a Hollywood production, you might be thinking.

Well… the green movement in independent documentary filmmaking is the focus of an interesting new documentary, “Greenlit”, by filmmaker Miranda Bailey. 

And the Independent Magazine has a great article this month on tips for green filmmaking.
