With our revolutionary approach to workforce development, we train people from a diversity of communities that have historically faced barriers to access roles in fod media. We make sure that our productions offer a safe, warm space for all of those involved.
We understand the power that media has to influence audience behavior, to shape culture; and we anticipate the actions that the stories that we tell may inspire, so we keep the impact on people + the planet in mind.
Sets carefully planned to be climate friendly, from solar-powered charging stations to the sourcing of the materials, plant-based catering, a ban on single use plastic, and anti food waste strategies to make sure that the food is distributed to the crew, or a donated to a local food pantry.
Our equipment policy includes guidelines for the acquisition of energy efficient equipment, its lifetime in production instances and further utilization as tools in the training of our workforce. We prioritize open box and pre-owned alternatives.
Besides prioritizing public transit, train rides, and
ride sharing, a shuttle can be made available to our crew with stops at convenient transit hubs for longer distance productions. Plane flights are discouraged, but when a production requires them, we find ways to offset the carbon impact.
We partner with local organizations, procure from local businesses and hire local talent as often as possible, in order to guarantee a community-centric, and low-carbon logistics network.
In addition to our commitment to leaving the physical spaces that we use in better conditions when we finish our work, we also design strategies with local organizations to engage and positively impact the communities where the projects take place.
