What needs to happen for the film industry to transition to zero carbon emissions by 2050?
Very interesting points of view including that of Sarah Cunningham, cinematographer and our own co-founder here at Cut It:
'In some ways, the answer is incredibly simple. Switch to renewable energy, crew locally, fly less, drive electric, eat vegetarian, plan equipment lists and schedules to maximise carbon efficiency, then, STICK TO THE PLAN!
In short, make the mitigation of our environmental impact the DNA from which all our choices, both practical and creative, stem.
For this, our industry needs a huge cultural shift. We have to understand that carbon mitigation is not a compromise to our craft, or a feel good add on, but is essential to our survival. Covid has painfully brought home that a planet in crisis is an industry in crisis.
In the absence of regulation and carbon budgeting, our action must be collective, with each part of the production eco-system taking responsibility. We need to educate ourselves, instigate new norms of practice, and, since each department is so interdependent, talk to each other.
What has been so inspiring about Cut It (Crew-led action on the climate crisis) is the realisation that so many people, from producer to trainee, agent to gaffer, do in fact care. I see this challenge as an opportunity for an industry full of problem solvers and innovators, who are accustomed to resolving the daily crises on set, to find new, healthier ways of doing things which are all the more creatively exciting for being future proof.
