Sustainability storytelling for B.C.'s film and television industry: a multi-city educational resource guide for filmmakers, and partner-facing work for SES's flagship Sustainable Production Forum.
about the project
I researched, designed, and compiled SES's Sustainable Productions Resource Guide, an educational guide distributed to filmmakers and sustainability practitioners across B.C., and supported partner, sponsor, and speaker relationships for the Sustainable Production Forum, SES's flagship event held in Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, and virtually.
the work & process
The guide began as a research problem: film and television production carries a real environmental footprint, but the people making creative decisions rarely have accessible, practical guidance in front of them. I worked from that gap backward, researching existing sustainability practices and distilling them into a structured, usable guide organized across educational resources, eco-tools and guides, media and entertainment, Indigenous knowledge and resources, climate storytelling, and green vendors. The aim throughout was a working tool a busy production team would actually open. Alongside it, I supported the Forum's partner-facing side, coordinating with sponsors and speakers across multiple cities to bring industry voices into the same conversation.
outputs & impact
The result was a comprehensive, multi-section resource guide spanning everything from practical eco-tools to Indigenous knowledge and vetted green vendors, distributed to filmmakers and sustainability practitioners across B.C., paired with cross-city partner and speaker engagement for the flagship Forum.
