While the idea of using sustainable practices during production (and pre and post) may seem straightforward enough, taking on this approach yourself requires a lot of background information and knowledge of the how-to’s and the best local resources. Ideally, producers will employ an expert that already has knowledge of the best practices and resources and will be able to most effectively implement these strategies. However, if you’re going to tackle making an eco-friendly film yourself, it’s best to start reading up.
To make the research process a little less daunting, I’ve compiled a list of resources from general guides on sustainable filmmaking, to state specific information. Find this list, and read more about my thoughts on the subject, here:
