National Talent Academy | Sustainability Day
In collaboration with the Sustainability Guild of Ireland
We are thrilled to announce the Sustainability Day for the Irish screen industry, an initiative to promote greener practices across film and TV productions. Hosted in collaboration with the Sustainability Guild of Ireland, this day will showcase the strides made in sustainable production practices, especially since Screen Greening introduced the Albert calculator to Irish productions. These sessions are aimed at producers, line producers, and production managers looking to gain a greater understanding of the support available to manage their productions sustainably.
