Minor Childers, President

Currently the Co-Founder and President of Dot Eco, LLC and President of the World Carbon Database, Minor Childers hasn’t always been in the Environmental Industry. Minor began his career at Paramount Pictures as Executive Story Editor for Alan Ladd Jr. (”Braveheart”).

With Silberling, Childers worked intensively in development, TV, and feature production, and produced “Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events.” It wasn’t long before Minor combining his passion for the environment and experience in film making, turned his focus to producing impactful, socially-conscious films. These films include the National Endowment for the Arts documentary “Operation Homecoming” — a revealing look at a creative writing program for U.S. troops and their families which was placed in the Library of Congress; “My Suicide”, a teen suicide prevention film; and “Morning”, a feature film on the grief and healing of parents after the loss of a child.
