New Mexico Film Union Publishes Green Film Making Guide
Santa Fe, New Mexico, Dec. 12, 2009 – IATSE Local 480, the film technicians union for the state of NM have just received “Green Filmmaking Reduce… Reuse… Recycle…Repeat.” This guide offers tips and techniques to working crew on the latest green practices in the film industry. Local 480 members Peter and Cheryl Clarson wrote this book as a guide that should be in every set truck, and glove box, on every movie shot in NM. The book was produced by Jon Hendry, Local 480’s Business Agent. Hendry was quoted as saying, “We’d really like to get these into the high schools and colleges where they are teaching film techniques so the new technicians learn the green way. NM has always been a leader in green film making, and now we’ve written it down.” When asked why it wouldn’t simply be greener to publish as a web site Hendry’s response was. “It’s often not possible to access the internet on a film set; this is a grab & go book with quick answers & solutions.” National Geographic’s All Roads Film Project in NM has already purchased quantities to distribute in their high school filmmaking programs. Copies are available for review by emailing info@iatselocal480.com There is a quantity discount on purchases.
