With two separate crews on different sides of the USA, the past fortnight has been a busy one for Lonelyleap. In collaboration with our New York studio, we are producing a mini-series of eight films profiling high-tech ventures in the energy and clean-tech industries.

Each company has its own unique story. Grown from the seed of an idea, fuelled by innovative and original technologies, they’re working at the front line of developments to make our world a more energy efficient place. The emphasis is on alternative thinking; new ways to capture waste energy, new biofuel crops, new ways of thinking about carbon and nanotechnology will all feature in the series, due to be completed in September.
