Cimaglia Productions is a forward-thinking production company that operates more efficiently by incorporating sustainable business practices into everyday work. Its seasoned staff of media professionals have created two of the leading high tech, energy-efficient production offices in Chicago and Boca Raton—both completely paperless. This focus on environmental sustainability creates our company’s culture and guides our decisions.

Inside, sustainable techniques include filming exclusively with digital cameras in lieu of wasteful tape. In addition, shutting off computers and other extraneous equipment at the end of each day is a simple, yet frequently overlooked, way to save energy. In fact, our Chicago office’s location was chosen over others based on its proximity to public transportation, which every employee uses daily. Even the hard drives used to store data at Cimaglia Productions are built from recycled materials.

The commitment to sustainable business practices has spurred us to develop some unorthodox client solutions. For instance, the remote file-sharing system we employ means that a full edit suite can be set up anywhere, sharing scripts and video without printing a single page.
