About FERN.
In 2020, FERN. was born with a heart for creativity and a brain eager to act for the climate. FERN. was established by two creative forces: film director Jeppe Kolstrup and photographer Kia Hartelius. Nobody in the creative industry was acting on lowering their impact on the climate and the environment - so Kia and Jeppe decided to stop talking and start acting.
FERN.’s mission is to change the industry from within. Step by step, FERN. pushes themselves, their collaborators and clients to think outside the box and raise the bar when it comes to lowering the footprint of the creative industry.
Transparency and a deliberate approach are key elements in FERN.'s soul and ways of working. FERN. lowers its climate and environmental impact by being proactive and finding alternative ideas and ways to behave. Both in every day and in production. These measures raise awareness, inspire, and change production methods. After each production FERN. calculates and reports the production’s CO2e emissions, which they share openly with the agency, client, and the rest of the world. Why? Because creativity is change.
