ECOFIXR

We are officially an Illinois Certified Green Business! As a company that helps productions obtain certification for their sustainability efforts, it was essential that we undergo a similar process conducted by a third party. The process was very thoroughly vetted. They left no stone unturned. We are proud to be certified because we know that they hold high standards for Illinois businesses. Going green isn’t just a trend. It’s smart business!

Ecofixr was created out of a deep belief that the film industry can be a powerful force for change. This is both on set and on the screen, which is one of the many reasons that we love @oneearthff . They celebrate the revolutionary storytellers that are using their voice for to help shine a light of environmental issues and celebrate sustainability wins. We highly recommend going to one of their screenings this week and check out all the other amazing projects. They are an inspirational organization. /2026-films-by-a-z #PowerOfStorytelling #filmmaking #sustainability #Chicago #thingstodochicago #thingstodothisweekend

The news was buzzin about Illinois on Earth Day! Yesterday, Governor JB Pritzker sent out a press release about the first-in-the-nation tax credit for certified sustainable filmmaking. We are grateful that we were able to help advocate for this new incentive. Thank you for including us in this historical moment.

Tomorrow is @deltainstitute 's 14th Annual BOOST pitch contest, which has been a longstanding program to support emerging entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for products and services that promote environmental sustainability in Midwest communities. Thank you to all of Delta Institute supporters for making Earth Day, a day of building opportunities for original and sustainable thinking in the Midwest. We hope to see everyone there! #voteforEcofixr Register at /boost #film #onset #sustainablesolutions #startup #entrepreneur

The Midwest Is Entering a New Era of Production! The @illinoisfilmoffice is evolving its incentive structures to include a 5% sustainability tax credit uplift, which means there will be an increase in demand for eco-reps. In collaboration with @chicagofilmmakers , Ecofixr is presenting workshop that will prepare you for these up-and-coming positions. We will discuss everything from the importance of eco-reps to resource rescuing and clean tech energy. Join us on May 12.

On Thursday, March 19, we had the distinct honor of attending @govpritzker 's presser about the Illinois Film Tax Incentive Expansion and thanking him personally for his support in sustainable filmmaking. This is a very exciting time for Illinois. All of the new incentives are going to help drive business, expand our workforce, and help us get more resources to continue to build our state into a thriving film industry where people can realistically build their careers instead of needing to relocate for more stable income. @ecofixr had the pleasure of observing the development of the most historic film incentive: the @illinoisfilmoffice 's 5% tax uplift for certified sustainable film, TV, and commercials - the first of its kind in the nation. We are incredibly grateful for the Governor's and the Director of the Illinois Film Office, Peter Hawley's, visionary leadership. They see the transformative power of sustainability, and we can't wait to see how this further solidifies Illinois as one of the greatest places to live and film. “Being first is both a great honor and a lot of responsibility,” Peter Hawley said. “The eyes of the production world will be on Illinois. Fortunately, we’re in a good position to start.” Part of the reason they are in great shape is that Peter and Louis Ferrara, IFO Deputy Director, made a point to consult with professionals from the film industry and the sustainability industry. Ecofixr had the pleasure of helping connect IFO with some of these wonderful people. Here are the folks that I know deserve a big shout-out: Cassie Carroll & Anthony Santarelli, @il_gba Sam Read & Sumin Sohn, @sustainable.entertainment Jessie Nagel & Michael Kaliski, @greenthebid Emily P. Fleischer, @weareadgreen Andrea Staley, Netflix Sustainability Production Consultant April Sotomayor, @bafta | @wearealbert Here's to continuing the journey to make Illinois the greenest film hub! https://lnkd.in/gXAz6Pj6

Last night we participated in Cottage Grove Productions and @blackbusinessesmatterpodcast 's event: Careers in Film and Sustainability. The evening was filled with inspiration and emphasized the power of community. Here are a few examples of how you can show up for your community. Hire local businesses. Find the super talented folks in your neighborhood. Donate leftover resources to charities. Tell your community's stories. Every decision you make can have an alternative option that considers how your art impacts the community and our planet. This is where Ecofixr steps in. We integrate sustainability into production infrastructure so creative teams can focus on storytelling. There are so many ways to show up for your community. How is your production infrastructure strengthening the community it works within? Thank you to the phenomenal people at this event: @George Ellzey Jr., @the_l3_agency , Cynthia Kaye Mcwilliams, @cyncity_productions , @troyopryor , @chicagofilmmakers , @peoplesgaschi , and many more. We will 100% be rewatching "Cottage Grove." Also, we look forward to checking out Cyncity Production's "Messy Lola" and "Sunday Evenings." Three cheers to Midwest talent! We love to see it.

We are proud to join the Chicago Sustainability Task Force. They are a group of large facility operators, event organizers, industry professionals, & their stakeholders taking action to improve operational sustainability and environmental awareness in Chicago. We are stronger as a community, and it is such an honor to work with this group to elevate awareness, impact, and work together on our goals. #chicagoclimateactionplan #sustainability #energyefficiency #goals #CommunityStrong #ChicagoProud #Illinois #bettertogether
