The embedding process of sustainable practices and thinking throughout motion-pictures continues. Telefilm Canada has expanded beyond their requirement to submit a sustainability plan, but they have now expanded the carbon footprint reporting requirement to all financed productions with budgets over $500,000 (excluding post-production applications). https://lnkd.in/gqyWymy5 #sustainableproduction #filmproduction #changingtheclimateofentertainment #leadership #carbonfootprint

This article includes concerning news on the LA film market. Still, I can't help but note that some important analysis is missing. Initial take-aways include: - I'm seeing consistent emphasis related to downward pressure on budgets, yet little discussion or acknowledgement that this industry has accepted inherent inefficiencies that most other industries would find unacceptable. While permit fees have increased, there is insufficient scrutiny of how sets are powered, whether equipment is optimized, and the inefficient implications of specific locations choices (or sequential vs block shoot planning). - It's not just a question of benefitting from jurisdictional tax incentives, it's also a look at how staying put with efficient planning can help contain costs while also underpinning studio climate objectives. - Where is the discussion on the cost of flying cast/crew away from LA? - We continue to externalize the Scope 3 emissions costs (both financial and environmental) from this discussion. - There's a need to link the discussion on jurisdictional tax incentives and implications of increased GHG emissions on studios and production companies that have increasingly detailed climate and environmental impact reduction goals. Such a link may help tilt the pendulum back towards keeping productions in LA. #sustainableproduction #filmproduction #LA #taxincentives #climatechange #thoughtleadership #changingtheclimateofentertainment #tvproduction #scope3 #sustainability
