In 5 minutes or less, we want your short film to tell a unique, creative, and compelling story about a local or global sustainability-related project. For ideas about topics, style and storytelling, we suggest you watch previous Student Film Project winners and check out Green Living Project’s sustainability-related videos online on our resources page along with the tips and links listed. Sample sustainability topics include wildlife conservation, sustainable food, resource conservation, community development, renewable energy, sustainability-related education, and sustainable travel and tourism.
