The film industry has been growing tremendously since the invention of motion pictures. However, the production of film sets has been leading to a significant carbon footprint, making the industry one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. According to reports, the film industry is one of the those who leave the biggest carbon footprints. The amount of CO2 that a movie can produce with a budget of more than $70 million is equivalent to 11 trips to the moon and back. Sustainable methods could reduce waste produced, and fossil fuels burned from transportation used in filmmaking. The movie industry is suspected of booming in India, which will unavoidably lead to more waste generation. However, many government/ non-government organizations are working to reduce the carbon footprint generated by effective waste management systems. However, in the long run, new composite materials that are sustainable in nature should be used instead of traditional set design materials to achieve a high degree of sustainability and minimize carbon footprint. This issue has been explored in this paper by researching the trend of "green filmmaking" and the use of sustainable methods, waste management, and new composite materials to reduce the environmental impact of filmmaking
