| 6/23/26 | How Battery Power Is Replacing Diesel on the World's Biggest Film Sets | David Sinfield, Green Voltage | David Sinfield is one of the most in-demand gaffers in the world and co-founder of Green Voltage, a UK-based battery power rental company serving major film productions. In this episode, he breaks down how battery-electric systems are quietly replacing diesel generators on blockbuster sets — from filming on a frozen Norwegian lake for No Time to Die to silent night shoots at sea in Jamaica to powering location work in Matera, Italy, without disturbing a single local restaurant. He also shares how one 49-day UK production ran on diesel for just four days total, why smart power planning in prep is the real unlock, and what it looks like when the biggest studios in the world start backing this shift. A practical, on-the-ground look at how clean power works at the highest level of film production.Topics: sustainable film production, battery power on set, diesel generator alternative, green production, gaffer, film lighting, blockbuster production, clean energy entertainment, Green Voltage, James Bond production, on-set sustainabilityThis is an excerpt from a previously released episode.

| 6/9/26 | How HBO's True Detective: Night Country Became One of TV's Greenest Productions | Mari Jo Winkler-Ioffreda | Mari Jo Winkler has been greening film productions since 2003. As executive producer of HBO's True Detective: Night Country, she made a decision that cut the show's carbon footprint by 2–3x: shoot in Iceland instead of Alaska — not just for the landscape, but for the geothermal grid.In this excerpt from the NAB Excellence in Sustainability Awards, Mari Jo walks through exactly how she did it: scouting at -22° in Kotzebue, choosing Iceland for its 100% clean energy infrastructure, deploying 40+ EVs, and piloting a battery-powered generator that now lives permanently in Iceland. She also breaks down how the show's environmental themes — toxic mining, indigenous communities, climate justice — made it onto screen, not just into the production protocols.What you'll learn:— Why Iceland beat Alaska and Canada on both carbon and cost— How a single conversation got a facility manager to purchase an EV battery generator for the production— Why the carbon footprint in Iceland was 2–3x lower than a comparable US or Canadian shoot— How HBO extended sustainability protocols all the way through marketing and the premiere— What Mari Jo is calling for from the supply chain right nowPerfect for producers, production managers, sustainability coordinators, and anyone making the case for green production inside a major studio or streamer.🔗 Mari Jo Winkler-Iofredda Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boneduds/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mari-jo-winkler-254010177/🔗 Green Production Guide: greenproductionguide.com🎙️ Zena Harris on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/zenaharris🎙️ Mark Rabin on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rabinmarkThis is an excerpt from a live session at the NAB Excellence in Sustainability Awards, April 2024.

| 2/24/26 | How Outside Days Built a 36,000-Person Sustainable Outdoor Festival From Scratch | CJ Jerard & Jonah Geschwind | What does it actually take to make sustainability a core pillar of a major live event — not an afterthought? In this episode, we sit down with CJ Jerard, Chief Brand Officer at Outside, and Jonah Geschwind of Green Disco to unpack how they built OutsideDays, one of the fastest-growing outdoor festivals in the U.S., with sustainability baked in from day one.From slashing diesel generator use by 95%, eliminating 190,000 single-use plastic cups, and achieving 100% food vendor compliance — to getting 30% of attendees to arrive by sustainable transport — this conversation is packed with real-world strategies that any event organizer, brand leader, or sustainability professional can learn from.We cover: setting sustainability values before the first sponsor signs on, using stakeholder agreements as an onboarding tool, integrating composting and food donation programs, leveraging hybrid battery systems, and why fan travel is the hidden carbon emitter no one talks about.Whether you're building something new or trying to green an existing event, this episode will change how you think about what's possible.Connect With Our Guests:Outside Days WebsiteGreen DiscoJonah on LinkedInCJ on LinkedInPlease like & follow “The Tie-In” @the_tie_in_podLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeConnect with our hosts:Zena Harris on LinkedInMark Rabin on LinkedIn | — | ||||||
