GreenScreen is a hands-on, project-based environmental media production program where students work in teams to leverage their collective production skills and environmental knowledge.

Tank to Table
Shrimp, a highly consumed product in America, comes from an industry riddled with environmental destruction, human rights violations, and chemicals that go unchecked. We follow a man planning to change this. Steve Sutton, owner and CEO of TransparantSea, has created a sustainable shrimp farm in Downey, CA, 20 minutes outside LA. He is a pioneer in aquaculture and has the experience and customers to prove it.
Crew: Grace Aldrich, Cameron Montesanto, Valentina Jimenez, Alba Vicente Viudes, Chris Gibson, Arlene Garcia
A Conversation with Mars
We are reaching a precipice when it comes to the damage that we have caused to our planet. It’s time for EARTH (GAIA) to have a voice in the matter. This film gives her that voice in a conversation with Mars. However, Mars has some ideas of his own.
Special appearances by: Sun, Moon, Venus and Jupiter.
Crew: Kim Page, Zoe Zhao, Paolo Marchi, Trevor Hilton, Robert Riles, Quinn Cantarutti, Kevin McCabe

Whirlwind
California’s Central Coast is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Federal and State government agencies are working feverishly to support proposed offshore wind energy projects along with a significant new marine conservation effort. This film explores the impacts of these initiatives on the Chumash, commercial fishermen, marine ecologists, wind developers, and the environment. The film weaves a path through a complex web of stakeholder interests and underscores the need for greater trust and more involvement by all parties.
