A GUIDE TO ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND FILM & VIDEO PRODUCTION

(1992) As environmental concerns become increasingly urgent, people from all walks of life are looking for ways to be part of the solution instead of the problem.

Written by filmmakers for filmmakers, this guide walks you through every aspect of film and video production, from screenplay to film promotion, and includes a candid account of the real life application of these ideas through the making of 'No Telling', an independent feature shot on location in rural upstate NY during the summer of 1990.

Profoundly, we see in this document the extraordinary urgency with which this information was presented back in the early 1990's.

We had all the evidence and information then. What has taken so long? What are he societal pathologies that keep us from responsible stewardship of the environment that sustains us?
