Background
Founded in 2008, EcoSet was created as a response to the evident need to reduce the environmental impact of the film production industry.
Comprised of experienced entertainment professionals with backgrounds in Film, TV & Commercial production, we are proud to be a part of the movement to bring environmental consciousness into the entertainment and advertising industry.
Our goal is to provide practical solutions to shift commercial productions towards sustainable production practices. This transition in thinking and culture benefits the people and companies involved in the projects, the surrounding community in which we work and ultimately the Earth in which we all live.
EcoSet is a certified women owned and operated business and employs professionals from the production industry. Our office is located in North Hollywood, CA. We primarily support productions in Los Angeles and are available for other markets on a case-by-case basis.
EcoSet also employs a network of hard-working freelancers as our Eco Crew. If you have a background in production with a passion for the environment, and are interested in being apart of our Eco Crew, fill out our online application
