Abstract
This chapter aims to delineate the various aspects of film production subject to ethical criticism in the popular, mainstream media, as a means to then outline both the conceptual possibilities for an ethics of film production and possible avenues for future research on this topic. Sometimes ethical questions about labor practices in film production are raised by the structural or design-features of a finished film. The question of whether the program, Treme , or individuals who worked on it deserve special moral censure for exploiting people who were already vulnerable offers a nice segue to a discussion about the ethics of working with vulnerable talent more generally. The difficulty of regarding a film as the object of environmental ethical criticism is compounded by the additional difficulty of identifying an ethical flaw in the film when harms remain only potential and temporally distant.
