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? Can you leave the community in which you film better off than when you arrived?

In the current climate with everyone talking about sustainability, there are ways to reduce both your costs and your footprint; from opting for recycled props to using production vehicles that run on biofuel to weaning your crew off of bottled water. By improving processes and methods, filmmakers can have a broader impact than ever imagined.

Film Independent is pleased to welcome Michael Kaliski, founder of Good Planet Innovation, who will offer tips and advice to indie filmmakers on how to make their productions more environmentally friendly while staying within their limited budgets.
