Sustainability
Having originated in a very small and remote community, we’ve been “green” long before it was popular. Our default is always to source locally and use environmentally friendly materials. We encourage reusable materials and even frequently put idle PA’s on “trash pickup” when on location so that we always leave locations better than we found them. When producing abroad, hiring locally is the single biggest step towards sustainability that clients can make. We provide the crew, equipment and support to make hiring locally and staying sustainable easy while maintaining the highest professional standards.
