| User ReviewApril PGreenlit is a documentary that opens your mind about waste and the film industry. Being one of the biggest moneymakers in the world, it also produces tons of waste. One might not realize the impact the film industry has on the public but it is absolutely enormous. It puts a lot in perspective seeing that watching films and television shows is something almost everyone does everyday. Greenlit is a funny and touching film that introduces the concept of the film industry going green. Miranda Bailey, the film's director, takes us on her journey to attempt making the film The River Why green. Bailey's voiceover is not only funny but also poignant. As the film goes on everyone realizes the it isn't easy being green, but if everyone just takes small steps it can make a big difference. This documentary is something everyone should see. It puts a lot of things in perspective. Greenlit is short, sweet, and to the point. |
| User ReviewRachel CGreenlit is a smart short film that assess the environmental impact of the film industry. Bailey follows the production of the The River Why and tries to minimize the landfill waste the production produces. She is met with strong opposition from the crew and producers that say they're willing to help, but actually do little to put the green procedures into practice on set. Greenlit is fast-paced, witty and informative documentary that brings attention to the previously overlooked film industry and their impact on the environment. |
