Description

Our team set out to complete a life cycle assessment on producing large budget movie. Using detailed information from our partner, Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE), we were able to calculate the environmental impacts from making the movie, going to theaters and watching the movie at home. The study identifies areas with disproportionate impact, helping our partners at SPE and other studios think more strategically about their sustainability initiatives.
