The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This was recommended to me by a friend. I am a fairly well-known actor (username is fake obviously haha). On my last movie, I noticed how much trash was created by crafty and how much stuff really just goes to waste. i'm glad someone else also thought about this! Miranda approached it the right way but the green consultant girl did not. you have to understand that people on the set have jobs to do and those giant plastic water bottles are a HUGE pain in the ass, especially when you're shooting all day and no one wants to trust the jug water that's been sitting out since 6 a.m. there are BUGS in there. Other than that the producer's efforts to reduce trash seemed genuine, I just wish the green girl had been on another set previous to this one and could see how everything works before trying to change it and disrupt people's routines.

With the huge trend of "going green" among individual members of the entertainment industry and in Hollywood, Miranda Bailey goes one step further in trying to apply this environmentally- friendly mentality to a film production. Though the steps to accomplishing a green film seem feasible, actually imposing them turn out to be more difficult than expected. In the hectic fast-paced environment of on-set production, the crew seemed frustrated to take the conservational measures agreed upon. They saw them more as a hindrance than a help, which shows how most people think about taking these steps. However, the fact that the crew did make more of an effort and did decrease their environmental waste was inspiring and encouraging. After seeing this movie, you will be convinced that being a little more attentive and making little changes in everyday habits will end up making a difference.

I thought this film posed a lot of great questions about how the film industry can be more green. I didn't realize what an impact the film industry has on pollution and this was very eyeopening. Overall, it was a really great look at the problems film industry professionals face when it comes to being environmentally friendly, especially low budget films. This documentary takes a unique approach since it follows the production of a low budget film, which poses the question: How can you be environmentally friendly with limited funds? It also discusses problems with some high profile films that were created and their impact on the environment. It's definitely worth watching and it will make you look at the process of filmmaking in a different way pertaining to environmental consciousness.

The film Greenlit illustrates very well how hard it is to be green on set. I find it very interesting that the film itself is not green, probably because they had a limited budget. Greenlit uses facts, interviews and B-Roll to drive home its main ideas. I thought the documentary did a very good job of showing both sides of the argument. The film also does an outstanding job of showing just how hard and expensive it is to make a smaller budget movie green. The movie follows it's director and star Miranda Bailey through the process of producing an independent feature as well as trying to make it green. Miranda is very likable and I enjoyed watching her go through the process. I could totally relate to her because she was learning as she went along. Miranda is obviously passionate about making the movie industry greener. All in all I learned a lot from this documentary and would recommend it highly to anyone that I know.
