Eric Bana’s film “Love the Beast” showcases the Australian actor’s affinity for automobiles, but Bana’s directorial debut is marked with a far more culturally significant distinction: The film’s carbon emissions were completely offset.
Whyte House Productions and Eric Bana’s company Pick Up Truck Productions joined up with Climate Positive, a non-profit that helped Bana’s production team calculate and offset the carbon emissions associated with all aspects of filmmaking--right down to the transportation and lodging of the cast and crew.
