Partner Profile Austin Studios is a non-profit film production facility formed through a partnership between the City of Austin and the Austin Film Society. Since the studios began operating in 2000, more than 50 productions have been based at its facilities, including feature films, music videos, television commercials, and still photography shoots. Austin Studios is committed to using 100 percent green power as part of its overall commitment to preserve the environment. In addition to its commitment to green power, the studios have implemented an onsite recycling program, converted the lighting in all three of its office buildings to more energy-efficient fixtures, and donated its movie sets and construction materials to area schools, theaters, and community groups to keep them out of landfills. "As a community-based non-profit we find that our mission of supporting a sustainable film industry in Central Texas goes hand-in-hand with preserving the natural environment through the use of renewable energy sources. And it is a great marketing tool with all of the environmentally conscious film industry decision makers out in Los Angeles", says Suzanne Quinn, Studio Director.
