EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood is facing tough times after wildfires hit earlier this month. At the Sundance Film Festival, filmmakers are stepping up to address climate change.
The Sustainable Entertainment Alliance is hosting a panel called ‘Green Sets to Great Stories: Filmmaking in a Changing Climate’ on Monday at 11:30 am at The Box at The Ray. This discussion will bring together filmmakers to share how climate change affects their work and lives.
The panel will include a series of quick talks. Director Greg Nava, known for Selena and Frida, will speak alongside Dolores Huerta, a co-founder of the United Farm Workers Union, who is the subject of his new biopic.
Other speakers include writer-director Max Walker-Silverman from Rebuilding and Sierra Falconer from Sunfish. Candice McFarlane, CCO of Cinereach, will also join the conversation. You can find more details and tickets here.
The Sustainable Entertainment Alliance is made up of major players in the film and TV industry, including A24, Amazon, Disney, Netflix, and Warner Bros. They are working together to lower the environmental impact of the entertainment sector.
This year’s Sundance comes at a difficult moment. The recent wildfires in Los Angeles resulted in at least 28 deaths and widespread destruction. Many in the film community, including actors like Milo Ventimiglia, Adam Brody, and Leighton Meester, have lost their homes. Sundance director Meera Menon, known for Didn’t Die, has also been affected.
