This was recommended to me by a friend. I am a fairly well-known actor (username is fake obviously haha). On my last movie, I noticed how much trash was created by crafty and how much stuff really just goes to waste. i'm glad someone else also thought about this! Miranda approached it the right way but the green consultant girl did not. you have to understand that people on the set have jobs to do and those giant plastic water bottles are a HUGE pain in the ass, especially when you're shooting all day and no one wants to trust the jug water that's been sitting out since 6 a.m. there are BUGS in there. Other than that the producer's efforts to reduce trash seemed genuine, I just wish the green girl had been on another set previous to this one and could see how everything works before trying to change it and disrupt people's routines.

I thought this film posed a lot of great questions about how the film industry can be more green. I didn't realize what an impact the film industry has on pollution and this was very eyeopening. Overall, it was a really great look at the problems film industry professionals face when it comes to being environmentally friendly, especially low budget films. This documentary takes a unique approach since it follows the production of a low budget film, which poses the question: How can you be environmentally friendly with limited funds? It also discusses problems with some high profile films that were created and their impact on the environment. It's definitely worth watching and it will make you look at the process of filmmaking in a different way pertaining to environmental consciousness.

Miranda Bailey presents a straightforward issue with a complex solution - yes, a solution. The film dives straight into the problem and immediately introduces a first step into finding a remedy for the pollution caused by the filmmaking industry. The film delves into the complications of making the film industry 'green.' Without beating around the bush, the filmmaker, Miranda Bailey makes it clear that it is not very simple and easy to 'green-up' the industry, but, also, that giving it a try won't affect the execution and quality of any film production. The pacing of the film is adequate and does its job in conveying a message that is intended leave a mark on the spectator with a very subtle touch.

This was a really informative documentary that didn't take itself too seriously. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I had no idea the amount of waste that the film industry creates. It seems as if a lot of Hollywood stars are big supporters of creating a more green culture but that is not really practiced in their own industry. It was really interesting seeing the difficulty of making even one film more 'green'. But the film shows the complexities of creating a green set and how it can be more costly and make the jobs of the crew more difficult. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in how films are made and those concerned with 'green' culture.
