Your Partners in Sustainable Filmmaking
Real-world decarbonization for film and TV
Next Earth builds the infrastructure the entertainment industry needs to move toward a sustainable future. Based in Long Beach and working across Greater Los Angeles, we provide the technical expertise to manage energy, fuel, and waste through consulting that actually works on a busy set.
Industry-led guidance
Built by People Who Know the Set
Next Earth is a crew-owned consultancy led by Lena Welch, who spent a decade working at major studios like Netflix, Lucasfilm, and HBO. We speak the language of the set and understand exactly how fast production moves. Our decarbonization strategies are designed to fit your timeline and respect your creative vision without adding unnecessary stress to the day.
Technical precision
Sustainability Driven by Data
We skip the vague talk and focus on measurable results by using industry-standard tools like PEACH and PEAR worksheets to track your environmental footprint. By partnering directly with HODs, Line Producers, and UPMs, we ensure sustainability is a seamless part of the production process rather than an afterthought.
