Mission Statement
Wide Angle Film Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to prevent the incredible amount of waste within the entertainment industry, while providing affordable access to filmmaking equipment and education; minding the environment while lowering the barriers to entry for a successful career in arts and entertainment.
Description
Wide Angle Film Center’s objective is to promote sustainability and diversity within the media industry. Sustainability is promoted by offering a tax deduction to companies that otherwise dispose of costumes, props, and construction materials in dumpsters once a production is finished shooting. Diversity is promoted by providing access: access to expensive equipment, access to props, and access to educational development for youth and adults alike.
Wide Angle Recycling & Film Center’s charitable objectives are broken into three different programs: a sustainable property house, a sustainable film equipment rental house, and a film education center.
