Green Frame is a sustainability certification designed specifically for the film and media production industry. It addresses the urgent environmental impact of filmmaking by providing producers, studios, and distributors with tools to track, reduce, and report carbon emissions across the production lifecycle, from pre-production to distribution. Unlike existing frameworks, Green Frame is U.S.-based and uniquely combines environmental accountability with economic and cultural incentives.
At its core, Green Frame offers a practical certification system supported by a digital platform that includes a carbon tracking tool, sustainability guidelines, and a scoring model. Productions that meet benchmark criteria receive a tiered certification and are eligible for promotional badges and potential tax advantages. The program is built to integrate seamlessly with industry workflows and aligns with local and state-level policy initiatives to advocate for green production incentives.
Green Frame’s ultimate goal is not just compliance but cultural shift. Through festival partnerships, on-screen recognition, and public engagement, it turns sustainability into a visible commitment. By positioning itself at the intersection of climate action, policy advocacy, and creative production, Green Frame offers a new model for how media can lead in building a greener, more accountable industry. It is both a service and a signal for what responsible filmmaking looks like today.
