Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Film & Video, Media & Communications
Mission: Green planet films (gpf) advocates environmental awareness through education with an emphasis on film. We view the need for humanity to meaningfully engage with its living environment has reached a tipping point. We support this advocacy by developing and maintaining a media library for distribution to educational and public institutions, non-profits, businesses and individuals. Our perspective on environmental ecology, also includes human ecology. To supplement this effort, we maintain a network of subject matter experts among film producers, scientists, academics, as well as other distributors who share a common aspiration to identify, produce and share discoveries in nature and humanity. Sample topics include deforestation, water resources, ocean conservation, sustainable fishing, renewable energies, climate change and other issues that affect humanity in the context of itself and nature.
Programs: Educational environmental film distribution to schools, libraries and organizations. We assist independent filmmakers in promoting their work to the educational market, at no expense to them. The educational market is usually overlooked by traditional distributors who concentrate on broadcast and home viewing. Many of these documentaries contain critical information for study and students and professors use these films in classrooms and in depth research.
