GREEN FILMMAKING PROGRAM

Educate & Encourage: The New Mexico Film Office offers online materials to productions about the use of alternative materials and environmentally friendly practices in the production office and on-set. This would include information on: recycling; purchasing locally made and/or organic products; donating unused/unwanted items to local school, church or animal welfare organizations; using non-toxic/low-toxic supplies and paints; leasing hybrid/electric vehicles; using biodiesel for generators; using alternative and biofuels for all other vehicles; water management/rainwater harvesting; and waste reduction techniques, among others.

Resources: The New Mexico Film Office will supply contacts for environmentally friendly production goods and services through on-line resources, encouraging local purchasing where available (see attached).


Incentives: At this point we are unable to provide any additional incentives for green filmmaking. New Mexico already offers the most comprehensive film and television production incentive package in the nation.
