Amplify Sustainability in Film Production with Emellie O'Brien

Riveo Impact Lab

In this episode of Amplify, Elin Barton chats with Emellie O'Brien.
The film industry is not the most sustainability-focused. They recycle water bottles, but they don't recycle props & sets, don't use clean energy, etc.
Emellie O'Brien is out to change that.
Emellie O'Brien is the Founder/CEO of Earth Angel. She is a pioneer of the sustainable filmmaking movement, working with major motion pictures and television series to cut carbon and costs since 2011. After her sustainability leadership on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 contributed to it being acclaimed as “the most eco-friendly blockbuster in Sony Pictures’ history,” she founded Earth Angel in 2013 to expand her expertise and impact. An inaugural Tory Burch Foundation Fellow, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alum, and 2018 Inc. Magazine 30 Under 30 Rising Star, EOB also speaks around the world on the topic of sustainable production. She holds a B.F.A. in Film & Television from NYU and sits on the board of Young Entertainment Activists and the Production Initiatives Association.
