As part of the BSc Level 4 Film Production Technology course at Staffordshire University a film project has been set - under the Production Module - with a challenge to 'Stay Green' throughout pre-production, production and post-production.
The project synopsis is as follows:
'To produce a short film as sustainably as possible, whilst coming up with new and innovative sustainable solutions for elements such as lighting, transportation, energy consumption and overall production'.Whilst this project is part of a University course, it is also part of a Green Film Making Competition, which is organised by Strawberry Earth, that will take place between February and June of this year. Strawberry Earth is a foundation based in Amsterdam whose aim is to inspire young professional people to live and work sustainably.

As a team of five individuals it is our aim to create a short five minute sci-fi/thriller film by the beginning of April and to find as many ways of being GREEN as is feasibly possible. Ideas so far have included charging all equipment before filming and then running from batteries only, printing on recycled paper when necessary, and using public transport. We are extremely excited about this project, and we hope you will share our enthusiasm for this opportunity to create something amazing and at the same time discover ways to save and protect our environment.
