Despite the rumors, the world is a pretty ok place. Amidst the talk of global warming, fuel prices and the Kardashians…there is this whole “Green Initiative.” So what does it mean for a project or institution to go green anyways?

I don’t think many businesses would want to operate with higher expenses or more time consuming practices. So she set out to find out how easy it is to balance social responsibility and running a cost efficient film production.
