As creative people who care about making a difference with our art, can we afford not to care about the impact we make on our environment? What is the story we tell about our place in the world with the way we make our films? Can you save money on your production costs while saving the planet?

In the current climate where everyone talks about sustainability, there are ways to reduce your costs and your footprint – whether by using recycled props, using production vehicles that run on biofuel, or weaning your crew off bottled water. By improving processes and methods, filmmakers can have a broader impact than ever imagined.

Film Independent is pleased to bring together a panel of experts who will offer sustainability tips for indie filmmakers, including producer Stephanie Dawson (Down with the King, Maya and Her Lover), Michael Kaliski (Good Planet), Jon Michael Kondrath (producer, The Hyperions) and sustainable production specialist Jennifer Sandoval (Earth Angel).
