Going Green…Let’s Give This the New College Try

Southern Fried has been researching the feasibility of an environmentally friendly production. Having a number of upcoming indie shoots, SFF wants to utilize the latest technology and to develop a habit of environmental responsibility. In the recent past, attempting to enact green efforts were quite difficult, monetarily at the least.

While researching, the Oregon Film office has the handiest guide, which can be downloaded. The NYC Mayor’s office for Film, etc. has a great resource on their website for green productions.

Haven’t used it yet, but will definitely attempt to utilize a site called, Film Biz Recycling. Film Biz Recycling is a Brooklyn-based donation center that accept items from productions and donates them to other low-budget productions, charities and non-profits. The concept is pretty freaking genius. Although, I’ve never had items that were just thrown away. Generally, someone on the crew was eying some piece of equipment, prop, etc. But, I know all productions aren’t as thrifty as SFFs.

Definitely will continue to update on how SFFs efforts to be a responsible citizen of the world go….
