Green Screen Leap

 

South West Screen, the development agency for film, television and digital media in the South West of England, has taken a leading step in greening the region’s film industry and television production when working on location..

 

South West Screen has used the Code of Best Practice in Sustainable Filmmaking, produced by FFC and The American University, as a basis for its Green Filmmaking Guidelines – adding checklists and guidelines for feature films.  

 

The organization has become the first regional screen industry in the UK to adopt and promote green filmmaking guidelines, although efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of films have already gotten underway. The feature film, ‘The Boat That Rocked’, was shot partly in Weymouth in 2008 and, assisted by Weymouth & Portland Borough Council and South West Screen, Working Title adopted strict guidelines for recycling and low-impact measures for the shoot.

 

FFC congratulates South West Screen for adopting Green Filmmaking Guidelines and encourages other film agencies and commissions to follow South West’s lead.
