15:30 - 16:10 Looking to the future – the technology and workflows changing the way we work

Making use of the cloud, virtual production and remote directing provide new opportunities to streamline workflows and reduce travel, costs and your carbon footprint. But how does it work in practice and how does it compare to more traditional forms of filming.

16:10 - 16:45 Sustainability in Practice - In Conversation With Tom Mustill and Cherry Dorrett

Join Tom Mustill, Conservationist turned Wildlife Filmmaker and head of Gripping Films, and Cherry Dorret, Head of Production and Freelance Line Producer, as they discuss their time experimenting with concepts such as regenerative and open source filmmaking, and how these ideas can be applied to any kind of production

16:55 - 17:05 Reflections and Round Up

Individual productions are working hard but you’re not alone. From infrastructure projects to studio standards and climate content pledges to research. We finish the formal part of the day with a brief round-up of what else is happening around the industry and some reflections of the day.

17:05 Matt Winning - Hot Mess

We’re delighted to be joined by Dr Matt Winning – a London-based Scottish comedian and environmental researcher who performs live climate change comedy and wrote the book HOT MESS: What on Earth can we do about Climate Change?
