Green Screen Toronto

The Green Screen Toronto Initiative

In 2007 Planet in Focus joined major groups in the Toronto film sector in establishing Green Screen Toronto an initiative aimed at facilitating the long-term growth of Toronto and Ontario's entertainment and creative cluster through industry-wide participation under a unique partnership arrangement by creating a mechanism that is adaptive to new environmental demands affecting the industry. This group has come together to create standards, guidelines and resources that will keep the industry in Toronto at a competitive advantage by establishing the most advanced green production practices in the creative industries.

At a time when demand for green solutions and standards are extremely high both within the industry and the public at large, the OMDC through the Entertainment and Creative Cluster Fund recognized the timeliness of this initiative and is providing funding to spearhead one of the most exciting and innovative initiatives in the film and television industry. This initiative is intended to position Toronto and thereby the province of Ontario on the leading edge of sustainable green production locally, nationally and globally.
