PRODUCED BY magazine: How to Make a Black Bear Green
FROM LOCATION SCOUTING TO REUSABLE FLATWARE, SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES ADD UP TO AGREEN PRODUCTION-AND SAVE MONEY IN THE PROCESS.
I see a net-zero emissions production coming," declares Jonathan Blitstein of Tandem Pictures. "It's not tomorrow, but soon. It's about aligning your values with your practices now, so that you're ready when that future comes."
"Every detail of our work has some impact on the environment," said producer Julie Christeas at the outset of production. Her awareness of that fact supercharged their green practices. Black Bear stars Aubrey Plaza as a filmmaker who plays the house guest of a troubled couple, played by Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon. The film was written and directed by Lawrence Michael Levine and premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. It was distributed theatrically and on streaming platforms last year by Momentum Pictures.
