PROGRAM CALENDAR 2009

 

Annual EMA Awards Broadcast via Network TV
The EMA Awards recognize film and television programs that convey environmental messages in the most entertaining and innovative ways.  We honor producers, directors, writers, actors and musicians who actively express concern for the environment through their productions.  This annual recognition serves to inspire other members of the entertainment community to use environmental themes to educate and motivate the public. 


EMA/E!/Weinstein Company “Golden Green” Golden Globes Viewing and After Party

Partnering with E! Entertainment and the Weinstein Company, we hold a completely sustainable, organic gala on site the evening of the Golden Globes.


EMA Executive/Corporate Board Meetings

EMA has assembled leaders of many of the most influential global corporations in an effort to work together with the corporate world to effect consumer behavior to become a more sustainable model.


EMA Green Seal Program 
The EMA Green Seal Award debuted at the 2004 EMA Awards honoring five recipients. The program is a way of recognizing and celebrating those productions employing specific environmental initiatives that EMA deems important. While the initial requirements were simplistic, EMA has worked to create a more robust set of criteria, and our new measures dovetail nicely with the current sustainability programs of the studios. We have also created a “Best Practices Guide” which focuses on all areas of production and provide recommendations for environmental savings and efficiency.


One-On-One Briefings
EMA visits feature film and television producers in personal, one-on-one meetings.  We "pitch" specifically tailored story ideas, character arcs and set dressing in an unobtrusive manner to subtly weave environmental themes within existing story lines.


EMA Exclusive Dinner Parties/Info Salons
EMA hosts periodic gatherings of specific small groups and invites leading environmental speakers to educate and motivate the attendees to create a greater understanding and awareness of how their actions can create concrete change.  We have assembled leaders in the Young Hollywood celebrity world as well Young Celebrity families.
