  DVD Verdict Review - Project Greenlight
Project Greenlight is an idea that sprouted from the brains of Maffleck—that would be Matt Damon and Ben Affleck—and Chris Moore (producer extraordinaire of such gems as Good Will Hunting, Reindeer Games, American Pie 1 and 2, Joy Ride).
Project Greenlight began airing in December 2001, then Stolen Summer premiered at Sundance in January 2002, and the film was finally released to theaters in March 2002.
The Project Greenlight HBO Series (360 minutes): The coup de grâce of the set is this presentation of the entire twelve episodes of the series (found on discs two and three).

 Show Guide: Project Greenlight--AllYourTV.com
Synopsis: One of the most unique concepts in TV history, Project Greenlight is HBO's contribution to an ongoing multi-media project conceived by Oscar®-winning writers/actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, along with producer Chris Moore.
The project was introduced in 2000 to allow aspiring filmmakers to submit scripts to an online contest, with a chance to win a dream Grand Prize: directing his or her own movie with a $1 million budget, top actors, and a theatrical- distribution guarantee.
After a brief overview of the Project Greenlight contest by its creators, the season begins with the narrowing down of the top 50 scripts (from an initial 7,000!) to ten, and the directors down to four.

 DVD Review: Stolen Summer & Project Greenlight
The first thing that I thought while watching "Project Greenlight" is that maybe it should follow a more experienced director trying to direct the winner's screenplay, with possible active input from the writer.
VIDEO: "Stolen Summer" is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, while all of the episodes of "Project Greenlight" are presented in their original 1.33:1 full-frame aspect ratio.
Project Redlight: This is an incredibly funny parody of "Greenlight", which shows the making of a direct-to-cable feature starring Corey Feldman.

 DVD Verdict Review - Project Greenlight: The Complete Second Season
The second season of Project Greenlight is a departure from the first, in that Season One's search was for a single writer/director, whereas in Season Two the call was put out for separate screenwriters and directors.
Located on the second disc of Project Greenlight: The Complete Second Season is a host of excellent bonus features, all of which expand the entertainment and educational value of the set.
In that case, Project Greenlight: The Complete Second Season may be your last chance to see the show when it still had its innocence, providing a document as to when the show made the transition from independent spirit to studio machination.

LOS ANGELES - The producers of “Project Greenlight,” a reality television show about young filmmakers making their first movie, want something new this season — a money-making hit.
“Greenlight” developed cult followings in Hollywood and across the country in two previous series that began with a contest for first-time filmmakers and ended with their making a movie.
Craven said that he was attracted to the project by “God-awful vanity and a sense of adventure” and unfazed by having every moment documented on television.

In "Project Greenlight," Ben (Affleck) and Matt (Damon) spark an HBO documentary series that watches a chump get his chance at the big time.
But greenlighting a project is never that simple, and after hours of deliberation, the keys to the kingdom are tossed to a flame-cheeked former insurance salesman from Chicago, an unlikely Cinderfella named Pete Jones, "the guy that'll never get the chance unless you give it to him," in the words of the sound man.
Jones' story is a syrupy sundae with rainbow sprinkles about a little Catholic boy and a little Jewish boy, one of whom dies of cancer.

That question — pulled from the Dimension horror film Scream— seemed appropriate when Affleck and Project Greenlight partner Matt Damon announced plans Tuesday to produce their first horror film with Dimension and Scream director Wes Craven.
Feast, as was the previous two Project Greenlight movies, will be filmed during production as a making-of, behind-the-scenes reality series that will air on Bravo, which picked up the series after it was dropped by HBO.

The first five episodes cover the entire process of pre-production, beginning with an explanation of the Project Greenlight contest from submission to selection.
While it's fascinating for the merely curious to see this back-lot Hollywood fairy tale, it is really of more interest to a writer/director hopeful, if only he or she catches a glimpse of what might have to be faced.
While that may not be entirely undeserved, Jones's script and direction, along with the powerful performances he draws from his cast, help this tale of two young boys and their loss of innocence in the mid '70s Midwest rise above its weaknesses.

 Zap2it - TV news - Damon: 'Project Greenlight' Is 'On a Respirator'
05:13 PM PT As viewers of the most recent season of "Project Greenlight" will recall, Matt Damon came across as the great defender of quality over commerce, fighting a legion of studio suits to try to select the best script and director for show's third film.
Despite the long delay between the show's completion and the pending "Feast" release (previous "Greenlight" movies were rushed into theaters almost immediately after the shows ended), Damon has already heard what constitutes enthusiasm from Dimension Films bigwig Bob Weinstein.
However, the transition from HBO to Bravo wasn't a smooth one for "Greenlight." Bravo never figured out how to promote the show and had difficulties keeping it in a stable time period and the resulting ratings were painfully low.
