Andre Champagne, founder and CEO of Hollywood Trucks, just announced a multi-year deal with NBCUniversal to deploy his new Eco Luxe trailers across all their film and TV productions — on-lot and off-lot. In this episode, he joins us from inside one of his new Eco Luxe trailers — parked on the Universal Studios lot, running entirely on its own power, never plugged in.

He breaks down how autonomous power works on a real film set: solar-powered trailers that generate, store, and distribute free clean energy to anything on the lot — including EV charging for cast and crew. On one Amazon production, he walked up to eight Hollywood Trucks trailers with eight EVs tied in and charging — no external power source, no cost. Listen in to hear why he believes the clean energy tipping point for the entertainment industry has already arrived.

From his first solar panel on a trailer in 2012 to a fully off-grid base camp by 2015 — this is a behind-the-scenes look at how sustainable film and TV production actually gets built, and where it's going next.
