Ecofixr presents “Filming Off the Grid: Sustainably Filming with Batteries & Renewable Energy,” an exclusive panel discussion at Filmscape Chicago Tradeshow showcasing the intersection of cinema and sustainability. This panel offers a unique look at the power of eliminating diesel generators and embracing sustainable energy.
As part of the panel discussion, attendees will enjoy a special screening of A Dance With Light, an enchanting short film directed by Robert Diaz LeRoy. Powered entirely by batteries and renewable energy, this production exemplifies the possibilities of sustainable filmmaking.

Following the screening, writer & director Robert Diaz LeRoy and producer & Cofounder/COO of New Use Energy Lee Feliciano will provide insights into the creative process behind “A Dance With Light and the importance of sustainability in the film industry.
