AceShowbiz - The trailer for the documentary filmmaking series "Project Greenlight" from executive producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are made for viewing pleasure. The series is back to HBO, airing the fourth season starting September 13.
Starting with a digital competition on July 24, the series will be a revealing and uncensored look at the challenges facing a first-time director as cameras roll from pre-production and casting through principal photography and post-production. It first aired in 2001 and then moved to Bravo for the third season before disappearing.
" 'Project Greenlight' was ahead of its time. Now that technology has caught up to the concept, we thought it was a perfect time to bring it back. A whole new generation of filmmakers has grown up sharing everything, and the next big director could be just an upload away. It is really great having 'Project Greenlight' back at HBO," Affleck said.
Damon added, "Project Greenlight works - careers have been launched and sustained as a direct result of this contest. Pete Jones, John Gulager, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan are just a few of the PGL alums who've gone on to do great things in Hollywood, and Ben and I are really proud of that."
