Film Otago Southland is here to support environmentally sustainable production practice with our Sustainable Filming Directory. It lists local organisations that offer waste, recycling, and circular solutions in our regional communities. All of these have been vetted by local sustainability professionals and councils.
How to use this Directory:
Use the category and sub-category filters to either browse the Main Service Providers in our region, or filter by the Material Type you're looking to sustainably source or dispose. You can also filter by the Region you're filming in.
