Making strides with industry partnerships
CAMA are incredibly proud to be affiliates, members, and endorsed suppliers of a number of industry-leading organisations including the Production Guild of Great Britain, BAFTA albert, the British Film Designers Guild, and ReLondon’s circular community.
You can find out more about our partnerships with these organisations and opportunities that we’ve had to collaborate below.
John, Ella, Sam, Michelle, and Mac (pictured) had a fantastic day at Sky Studios Elstree for the Production Guild’s second annual Sustainability Behind the Lens event. At our stand, they chatted with attendees about how we’re supporting productions to more sustainably and circularly manage props, sets, and costumes. The team demoed our asset management software, AssetFlow, and even gave a sneak peak of some of the innovative scope 3 carbon data that we’ve been producing.
Our Directors, Mac and Michelle, and Head of Engagement and Partnership Development, Ella, headed out to the Festival de Cannes this year. Along with relaunching our three lifecycle asset management services and accepting the Global Production Award for Physical Production Innovation, they also met up with friends old and new to discuss next steps for further enhancing asset management production-wide.
We recently delivered an online session for Production Guild members. During the webinar, Ella (our Head of Engagement and Partnership Development) outlined the core concepts of the circular economy and mapped out how CAMA are embedding circularity into their asset management services for productions.
Delivered by Tilly Ashton and Ellie Ashton, Wales’s leading sustainability advisors and consultants, Sustainability Coordinator Training for Scripted Productions was a first-of-its-kind course delivered in Wales. Our Head of Engagement and Partnership Development, Ella, was invited along to speak to the trainees at the ‘Waste as a resource and circular economy’ session, outlining the work that CAMA have been doing to facilitate production circularity.
The CAMA team had a great time exhibiting at the Shinfield Studios Open Day, chatting to friends old and new and getting to share more about our storage, asset management, and circular economy services. It was brilliant getting to see the incredible new facilities in Shinfield’s state-of-the-art sound stages and we’re excited to see the opportunities this will bring for the industry in the coming years.
We couldn’t be prouder that two productions supported by CAMA have made it to the BFDG’s shortlist for the Planet Positive Award. In 2023, Apple and See-Saw Film’s ‘The Essex Serpent’ (nominated by CAMA) won for committing to protecting the salt marshes in the Essex estuary and donating set pieces and props come wrap. In 2024, Apple and 60Forty’s ‘Hijack’ received an Honourable Mention for sustainably constructing and reusing their set, and renting, reselling, and donating their props.
CAMA was kindly invited to speak on the ‘Introducing the Infrastructure’ panel at BAFTA albert’s Production Summit in 2023. It was an event full of informative panels and discussions following the launch of Arup and albert’s Screen New Deal: Transformation Plan for Wales. The timing was brilliant as we continue to build our circular economy partnerships in Wales and work on our large-scale project in Cardiff, supporting a project with its extensive asset management.
At FOCUS 2023, we got to chat about our work on scope 3 emissions reduction on Sustainable Film’s Go Green and Grow Your Business panel. Our Head of Engagement and Partnership Development, Ella shared how productions and studios can reduce their carbon footprint by engaging with suppliers, particularly through asset management and reuse.
Our team were proud to exhibit at the Production Guild’s inaugural Sustainability Behind the Lens event, hosted at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden. It was our first time properly getting to demo AssetFlow to attendees and we were thrilled that there was such an engaging response from everyone who came and spoke to us. Thanks again to the Production Guild, the Sustainability Committee, and Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden for having us!
Our Director, Mac, joined join Lily Limmer (Sustainability Coordinator, Picture Zero), Blair Barnette (Chair, British Film Designers Guild), and Karl Liegis (Head of Production, 60Forty Films) for a panel discussion on sustainable production design, hosted by BAFTA albert. The panel focused on the achievements in production design made by The Essex Serpent, which won the BFDG’s Planet Positive Award having been nominated by the CAMA team.
Our Sustainability and PR Consultant, Yosien, had the fantastic opportunity to talk about ‘The Production Lifecycle’ at BAFTA’s Headquarters for the albert Production Summit. Discussing how suppliers are addressing the obstacles to production asset reuse with innovative new services and products, Yosien outlined how CAMA are specifically supporting productions with circular wrap and storage strategies.
Our Director, Michelle, organised a fantastic networking event for our sustainability partners in film, television and construction at the Tower of London, kindly sponsored by our friends at CBRE. It was an amazing morning in an incredible location, providing the perfect opportunity for our Managing Director, Mac, to announce the relaunch of our upgraded AssetFlow asset management software.
Our expert asset management team will be more than happy to help.
