Sustainable Set Building: “All Her Fault” works towards a circular economy

Art departments use a huge amount of materials when building sets, much of which ends up in landfill when the shoot concludes. ‘All Her Fault’, recently shot at Docklands Studios in Melbourne, sought to meet high sustainability benchmarks, with their art department adopting a responsible approach to sourcing and disposing of all materials. The team consulted with sustainability experts, trialled innovative building methods and materials, and used environmentally responsible vendors for both procurement and disposal. In this panel discussion you will hear from key members of the art department, construction crew, material consultants, and sustainability advisors as they reflect on the challenges, successes, and lessons learned on this project.

This event is featuring Max Dennett (Art Director), Seth Aitken (Art Director), Frank Burridge (Main and Frank Studio), Alex Cheesman (Picture Zero Consultancy) and Illusions Australia.

The event is organized by Nell Hanson and APDG.
