The PGA Green Unified Best Practices represents the best current strategies for green production, based on the experience of a wide range of producers working in the field today to achieve sustainability in motion picture and television production.
This guide was created to help independent producers and their production teams reduce the carbon emissions and environmental impacts of their film, TV and New Media productions. It is organized by production phases and departments, and each section is downloadable by department, facilitating crew members to focus on the green strategies relevant to their needs.
The first section focuses on what producers need to do to get started–when to make the commitment, how to maximize efficacy and ways to maintain progress. The second section concentrates on how to set up the production office—an important phase which will influence the green achievements of all other departments. The next ten sections cover the production through wrap, editing and distribution.
As we begin 2011, our hope is that filmmakers will begin to incorporate these practices as part of a standard routine, and continue to visit this site and www.pgagreen.org for ongoing updates and innovations in sustainability for film and television.
