PLATFORM:
SHFT
http://www.shft.comSHFT is a multi-media platform founded by film producer Peter Glatzer and actor-filmmaker Adrian Grenier. Our mission is to convey a more sustainable approach to the way we live through video, design, art and culture. As filmmakers who are concerned with climate change, we felt that we could bring something creative to express the changes we wanted to see and were, gratefully, starting to observe.
SHFT celebrates the burgeoning sustainable marketplace where great design and innovation meet. We vote with our dollars and can have a powerful impact when we do.
