Love Hurts, shot in Manitoba, named most sustainable film production
Cynthia Burke is a sustainability trailblazer in Manitoba's film scene. She's the industry's first certified environmental manager and last year worked as the eco-specialist on Love Hurts, the first local production to employ a dedicated sustainability department. On Monday, the action comedy starring Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan was named the year's most sustainable film production at the 2025 Global Production Awards in Cannes, France, beating out the likes of Wicked and Mean Girls. The international accolade — awarded annually to a production engaged in meaningful green filmmaking practices — is thanks in no small part to Burke's efforts to help reduce waste and emissions on set in Winnipeg. But she isn't one to hog the spotlight. 'I'm a liaison and a cheerleader, but my job is insignificant. The work that's done to create a sustainable film production is the crew's participation and buy-in — without that commitment, none of it is possible,' she says. Burke spent decades working as a teacher, but stepped away from the classroom because of stress and burnout. She's been working in film and television since 2012 after getting a degree in theatre and film and has spent most of her second career as a production assistant, with experience in set decoration, props and location services. Becoming an eco-friendly film production facilitator was not on her bingo card. The opportunity arose during pre-production for Love Hurts. A sustainability department was required to meet the corporate environmental standards of NBCUniversal and 87North Productions, but at the time nobody in town had the proper credentials. Burke interviewed, got the job and spent months training with Green Spark Group, an environmental consulting firm specializing in the film industry. She's since furthered her education with a Sustainable Production for Entertainment Certification (SPEC) from the U.S. Green Building Council California. MIKE DEAL / FREE PRESS Cynthia Burke is the first certified environmental manager in Manitoba's film industry. Burke describes the role of an eco-specialist or environmental manager as 'a huge octopus of tasks.' 'It isn't just taking out the garbage, it's really intensive data collection to see what our carbon footprint is, to see where our emissions are coming from to understand where the gaps are and how to fix them,' she says. It's also about education. Between asking vendors for detailed waste and energy reports, Burke spent time on the Love Hurts set encouraging the cast and crew to use the garbage, recycling and compost bins correctly (which resulted in 4,000 kilograms of compost being diverted from the landfill), celebrating weekly achievements and doling out workplace and household sustainability tips. 'The things we do as teachers in terms of data collection, managing paperwork, teaching, communication skills — all of those things are really lovely parallels that are transferrable into this job,' she says. Power is one of the biggest environmental concerns on a film set. 'The work that's done to create a sustainable film production is the crew's participation and buy-in — without that commitment, none of it is possible.'–Cynthia Burke To cut down on emissions, NBCUniveral paid for electricity upgrades at Winnipeg's Big Sky Studios, which will benefit future productions; used mostly LED lighting; and sourced a hybrid electric generator instead of the usual gas-powered machines. Electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as e-scooters and e-bikes, were used to transport equipment and people. Burke is particularly proud of the new partnerships she helped establish with local organizations. Forty-five tonnes of usable construction and set-building materials were donated to Habitat for Humanity and more than 31 kg of edible prop food was sent to Harvest Manitoba. The on-set caterer agreed to provide reusable and compostable plates and cutlery and reduce the amount of red meat served during the production. Aluminum water bottles were procured to cut down on single-use plastic. One of Burke's biggest hurdles is convincing executives that sustainability initiatives are worth the extra effort and cost — especially with practices that aren't yet commonplace locally. Every Second Friday The latest on food and drink in Winnipeg and beyond from arts writers Ben Sigurdson and Eva Wasney. 'Making change is really difficult. When you have no baseline or past experience, it's hard to get your head around how it can save us money when it's costing us much more upfront. It's a really hard thing for people to understand the holistic aspects of a circular economy,' she says. At the moment, sustainability isn't an official department recognized by local film unions. Burke hopes her work and Love Hurts' sustainability win will help move the industry forward. Universal Pictures Ke Huy Quan (left) and Rhys Darby in Love Hurts 'We need to keep training people,' she says. 'We could be the best example of sustainable film production because we're a small market. We know each other and our vendors want to support (this) because you can see the difference it makes in Winnipeg.' X: @evawasney How is the stage lit? Who hangs the paintings?

Dunfermline rock legends Nazareth postpone US tour due to illness
A legendary Dunfermline rock band have been forced to postpone their US tour due to the 'sudden illness' of a band member. The band, who were formed in the city in 1968, had been due to spend 23 days touring 16 venues on their Bite the Bullet tour. Their first show was scheduled for East Greenwich in Rhode Island on Thursday. But the band have had to call the tour off. Nazareth have four members, but Dunfermline-born bass player and singer Pete Agnew, 78, is the only original member. Drummer, percussion player and singer Lee Agnew, 54, was also born in Dunfermline and joined the band in 1999. Carl Sentance from Loughborough and Jimmy Murrison from Aberdeen are the other members. The band have not confirmed which of the members has taken unwell. In a statement on the band's Instagram page, Nazareth said: 'We are very sorry to have to announce that, due to the sudden illness of a band member, we are having to postpone the US tour. 'It's too soon to give you any further information regarding exactly when this will happen, as our agents are busy now trying to rearrange things. 'We're sorry to disappoint all you guys who have got tickets for the shows, but we'll do our best to make it up to you, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.' Nazareth were formed by Agnew, Manny Charlton, Dan McCafferty and Darrell Sweet in Dunfermline in 1968. Their single Love Hurts made the top 10 in the US in 1975 and hit number one in Canada. In 2022, The Courier told how a 60-year-old film found in Fife had shown the beginnings of the band.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 Nazareth were due to hit the road on a US tour this month Credit: Alamy The band had 16 dates scheduled in America this month as part of their Bite The Bullet tour. They were due to play their opening gig at East Greenwich, Rhode Island tonight. Nazareth told fans: "We are very sorry to have to announce that, due to the sudden illness of a band member, we are having to postpone our US tour. "It is too soon to give any further information regarding exactly when this will happen, as our agents are busy now trying to rearrange things. "We are sorry to disappoint all you guys who have got tickets for the shows but we will do our best to make it up to you hopefully in the not too distant future." Disappointed fans flocked to the comments to send their well wishes to the group. One wrote: "Get well soon and speedy recovery. Health is number one." Another put: "So bummed, but praying for speedy recovery. Get well soon, that's most important." A third added: "So disappointing to hear this, we were looking forward to the Newton, New Jersey show this weekend. But health always comes first." A fourth added: "So sorry to hear. Hope the health situation is resolved quickly. I'm sure everyone is disappointed. Sending good thoughts." Rock fans devastated as huge band cancel series of gigs across UK cities after 'cruel twist of fate' The pioneering hard rock group formed in 1968 and is best known for the classic track Love Hurts. They were due to visit a string of locations across America including California, Arizona, Texas and Ohio. Bassist Pete Agnew recently vowed to keep playing until he pops his clogs – as he refuses to retire after 60 years of touring the world. Pete, whose son Stevie now plays with the band too, said: 'It's more fear of death. It's like a manta ray. If we stop moving, we die. 'Anybody I ever meet, they tell me to never retire. I'd rather die on the stage with my toes up and hope it's a good gig. 'I remember we were sitting having a pint once watching the telly in 1984 and the comedian Tommy Cooper came on and died on the stage. We thought it was part of the act. 'So I've seen somebody pop their clogs. And that's not a bad way to go, I don't think.' He added: 'I've got to say that the guitar feels a wee bit heavier now than it did. 'But when you're on stage, you don't even really feel it.
