Every frame tells a story. Every choice leaves a footprint.
Documentaries capture reality – but behind the camera, every production decision has an environmental impact. This 90-minute workshop is for anyone working in feature documentary production who wants to reduce that impact while keeping storytelling authentic and compelling.
Why this matters now
Documentaries reveal truths to audiences, but productions can also leave a mark on the planet. Simple, practical interventions on set and in pre-production can significantly reduce energy use, waste, and carbon emissions without compromising the story.
Documentaries have the power to inform and inspire. This is your step toward making every production more sustainable, without losing the impact of the story you tell.
