This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark learn about the amazing work Neel Vasavada and his team at âOverdrive Solutionsâ have been doing to help heal LA after the devastating fires. Itâs bigger than a matter of dollars or politics. Itâs a complete cultural shift that needs to happen if we want our great cities to survive and thrive. Neelâs sustainable efforts are proving that diesel alternative methods to power equipment and work trucks are the best practice in every conceivable way. When youâre presented with the benefits of implementing working green tech at every turn and people still refuse to adapt with them, it becomes clear how rooted in mindset hangups the publicâs hesitation to get on board really is.
Even in such desperate situations as the LA Fire disaster, people will find ways to argue against cleaner energy sources and practices. We are proud to share the story of someone who fights for our world, regardless of the naysayers or the ignorant. Our team is grateful for Neelâs words, insight, innovation and actions. Please, check out âOverdrive Solutionsâ and all the awesome things theyâre doing right here: https://www.overdrive.rocks/who-we-are
Everyone needs to do their part. Community is what will truly win the battle. Please visit or forward the LA Disaster Relief Navigator if you or anyone you know needs help: https://wildfires.betterangels.la

Itâs the new reality! Athena has been involved in Burner activism for years, and you wonât want to miss our exploration into how, through clever problem-solving, Athena is integrating a VR experience with the festival we all know and love. Her group is having a blast in this new entertainment arena, but theyâre also building sustainable platforms for the community. âBurning Manâ is more than just an event. Itâs a collection of stories, and weâre proud to celebrate the people like Athena who are educating the public about new ways to interact with it.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark discuss modular sets and more with Set Construction Manager Joe Madziak, the man behind the magic for the last five seasons of âSuitsâ and many other TV shows! Come with us and journey through the rich history of set construction, and get ready for some iconic stories behind-the-scenes of your favorite TV shows! The industry is certainly changing, and while designers had more power back in the day, some positive changes are occurring as well. Itâs way safer, because you wouldnât believe the places those crews used to rig, and itâs also way more sustainable. Thereâs lots of work still to do, but people like Joe have embraced environmental responsibility and saved their producers money in the process. Reusing set pieces is the key! Our next step is to collaborate on reuse opportunities at the local level. Join us by demanding your favorite production companies take this seriously. Itâs cool to reuse!

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark celebrate the return of a previous guest, the filmmaker of all trades, Robert Diaz LeRoy! The gang gets candid about how the industry and the world need to act. Itâs Robertâs estimation that we can be a part of the problem, landscape, or solution. Turning a blind eye to environmental dangers caused by our misuse of power is ignorance incarnate, and Robert is trailblazing in the industry to make a difference. On the upcoming show âDark Gospels,â the mystery surrounding the death of a possessed girl is dissected, and those involved must face the consequences of their actions. Robertâs facing the consequences of our collective lifestyle and pushing for sustainability (aka: dynamic equilibrium) on his sets. âDark Gospelsâ went indie in order to maintain an impressive amount of sustainability, and we could not be more excited about how he approaches his work. Climate change is as real as the stars we see up above, and we see Robert leading all of us into a more sustainable age.
Check out our first ever YouTube episode with Robert. This was when we started, and the team was still figuring out âthe Tie-In.â - https://youtu.be/u4hRlqNyhq0?si=RqRjuVQ77EbR9Y1a

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark get curious with show-runner and Livable Communities Initiative Co-Founder, Lindsay Sturman. Working on set helped Lindsay learn how to seek innovative solutions and encourage others to do the same. She and everyone in her organization wants the LA community to feel good when they walk down the street. One of their many plans is to increase walkability in the many gorgeous historic main streets, and keeping all generations protected from vehicles is their primary goal. We all have to get our coffee stroll in somehow, so it may as well be done safely. Bikes are the one thing that closes the gap between walking and a car, and we think, especially with the advent of cargo bikes, that theyâre the happiest mode of transportation.
Check out Lindsayâs awesome podcast, âBike Talkâ - https://biketalk.org

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark touch base with the e-waste management and sustainability dynamic duo that is Allison Elvove, Local 600 Sustainability Committee Western Region Chair, and Alex Coyle, Western Region Member (@icglocal600). Their work involves much more than making sure studio cameras capture all the images we love to watch in post. Theyâre hosting panels with organizations like NAB Show (https://cloud.e.nabshow.com/2025/) and leading the camera departmentâs union by educating them on how the department as a whole contributes to sustainability. Understanding what your jobs have to do with sustainability is going a step beyond planting trees or picking up trash, and we admire the forethought and effort people like Alex and Allison exert in going there. It will take the entire entertainment community to make the best possible future happen, and including sustainability in the conversation before shooting will help avoid potentially hazardous practices down the production road.
Letâs empower film crew members and the world by spreading the word! Please visit the Local 600 sustainability website to see how you can get involved.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark discuss what it takes to create sustainability in the live music industry from the fabulously famous Amy Morrison, leader of the âMusic Sustainability Allianceâ (@msa.action). MSA is mobilizing the industry to change its operations and use its platform for cultural impact. Amyâs talent for forging connections and invigorating existing systems, instead of reinventing the wheel, has led to a return to grassroots efforts in the scene. By understanding the economics behind who drives the language, we can elevate creative groups working in sustainability. Itâs all about education, proving facts, debunking myths, and getting motivated activists the materials they need to thrive. Amy has helped accomplish all those things and more, but we canât stop now. Help us help her and the other sustainably savvy individuals on her team by spreading word about their cause. Like, subscribe, and support the work of artists who support sustainability.
You can follow Amyâs efforts by joining the MSA through their website: https://www.musicsustainability.org

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark talk about climate communications with the CEO of âEcodeoâ (@ecodeo), Liz Rubin, a true talent who is also one of our good friends! Listen in and learn about the reality of eco-products and more. The truth is, eco-corporations can become so focused on building that they forget to communicate. âGreen hushingâ is real, and itâs through organizations like âEcodeoâ that we bring the visibility thatâs necessary to generate the right capital. If we can achieve this, those working in sustainability would feel less pressure. Help us amplify existing content that centers around or even features sustainability, and please share this podcast wherever you can.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark chat about some memorable moments from our season one interviews and experiences. From early interviews like our Coachella convo with Ken Deans, to learning about what it takes to bring sustainability to fiction with authors Steve Willis and Genevieve Hilton, there are too many enriching moments to list them all. We are looking forward to 2025, and âthe Tie-Inâ team couldnât be more excited about the possibilities! Thereâs a ton to look forward to, including, but not limited to, a great share of innovative ideas with the iconic Amy Morrison from the MSA and a live podcast at SXSW in Zenaâs home state, Texas!
We appreciate everyone who has shown their support as weâve tried to grow our podcast for the good of all those who seek sustainability onscreen, onstage, and beyond. The best holiday gift would be a five star review, so take a moment to do so if youâre feeling those âgood cheerâ vibes. We wish you all the best in the coming days, and just know, in the fight to preserve our planet, youâre never alone. See you in season two!

Mark and Zena dove into sustainable production with Zsofia Szemeredy on this weekâs episode of The Tie-in and how the conversation starts early and the approach is holistic to achieve meaningful strides towards sustainability on large movie productions. Zsofia has held several positions in the industry from âglorified popcorn pusherâ to working at albert, to now running Green Eyes (@greeneyesfilmprod) and she shares her perspective from both the UK and Hungary on whatâs going on on the ground and what she sees as a sustainable path forward for the film and tv industry.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark talk with authors Steve Willis and Genevieve Hilton (aka Jan Lee) about their latest novel promoting climate influence, âFairhaven: A Novel of Climate Optimism.â This story centers around a girl born in Penang, Malaysia, who has seen the harmful effects of climate change firsthand. The authors have dedicated this book to those who are striving for a future that doesnât suck, and there are many groups of people of varying walks of life that have supported the book. Many have even added it to their book clubs, and we hope you will too. There is great power generated when creative minds come together, and while sustainable batteries can help, the solution begins with us. We really appreciated this opportunity to discuss work with two such passionate individuals, and this reminds us that it isnât all about that delicious TV and Film that we cherish. Books need love too! This is climate storytelling!
You may find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1LP4L1 - and if you take a look, let us know what you think of the book. Iâm sure there will be plenty to discuss for all climate influencers, and you can help support Steve and Genevieve on their future projects by leaving a great review of their revolutionary work online.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark talk about advertising training, tools, and resources with the Global Director of âAd Greenâ (@weareadgreen), Jo Fenn. Their team is making people feel supported and empowered to talk about sustainable solutions to short-form productions.

Theyâre all about long term thinking and resources that get people in the UK and beyond excited about setting a new standard for sustainability in advertising.

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark join the music revolution led by CEO of âShowpower,â Paul Schurink. Thatâs right, the sustainable source behind âColdplayâ is back, and he has even more insight on how he makes such huge shows battery efficient and safe. His team is knowledgeable, resourceful, and well-researched. They tackle each problem with a can do attitude, and this change in behavior is one we all should consider. Thereâs no one method of achieving sustainability or one particular size of live show that can be sustainable. Considering size and budget are important, and there are plenty of folks who will push back on big ideas. However, itâs all in the approach, and if we educate the public, theyâll discover how it isnât more work or more expensive. Itâs simply the future, and âShowpowerâ is lighting (and micing) the future.
Your next stop should be their website, because there is so much still to come from these proud tech nerds: https://www.showpower.com/our-story/

This week on âThe Tie-In,â Zena and Mark are learning how to foster crew well-being with Production Manager, Hans Dayal! Heâs worked on several Netflix properties, including âVirgin River,â and heâs here to tell you, thereâs no master plan. He views productions as a great laboratory for experimenting with different sustainable practices. Thereâs no one way to do it, and innovative tech can always come out and change the game. Itâs all about having the right mind set, like thinking about how much cable your crew members have to run in the dead of a snowy night, and strategizing about a more efficient, battery-powered, alternative. Thatâs one example of many situations where one can benefit from adopting Hans Dayalâs line of thinking, and we think his words on the future of production efficiency are beautiful.
