Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I usually hate Hollywood and everything it stands for so as you can imagine I was a little skeptical when my friend insisted I watch this movie. I was surprised to find that I loved it. It was objective and fair and even funny. Hollywood people usually congratulate themselves on being liberal and green when it's such a wasteful industry. I've been saying this for years and I'm glad they're finally looking to change their ways. Good on you. This documentary really raised awareness about how much waste the movie industry actually creates. Hopefully the old codgers like me who have been fighting for this since the 60s can share this movie with the younger kids and it will open their eyes to how much change we still have left to implement. Good for you, whoever thought of this movie, I think it will really help.

I decided to watch this doc after dabbling in a little recycling program of my own. I'm a junior in high school. This year, my friends and I started the Greenzo Recycling Club (inspired by the character of Greenzo in 30 Rock). Our goal was to be so energetic and zealous that people just HAD to recycle whether they liked it or not and it WORKED!! I totally feel the struggle of getting people to use less bottles. Everyone at school was like "this fountain water is gross" and I was like "no dude you're saving the environment, suck it up," and they did. It probably helped that I wore a green man suit to school. I give this an 8 instead of a 10 because I would have liked to see more of haters' bad vibes and then a strong counter-argument, but overall it's pretty cool. Def recommend watching.

Very funny, original look at a topic that should be at the forefront of the green movement. As one of the largest producers of pollution in the environment, the film and TV industry has an obligation to open the doors to the production process and what effect it has on the environment. 'Greenlit' does just that, allowing the viewer to see the waste that results from a feature film's production (as well as the drama associated with trying to reduce that waste). This isn't the snooze fest that is An Inconvenient Truth. Rather, the problems associated with film production pollution are presented in a humorous yet educational manner. I didn't feel like I was learning something so much as I felt like I was taking in an entertaining movie

In an ever-present debate regarding the impact humans have on the environment; 'Greenlit' puts the previously overlooked film industry under an eco-friendly microscope. Director Miranda Bailey sets forth on a journey to turn a film production into a green, environmentally friendly operation, attempting to answer the question of what it means to be "green" on a film set and if it a feasible goal for Hollywood to trade in the old ways for the new. Bailey is a quirky, entertaining host who guides the documentary through a crew who is less-than-enthusiastic about the additional steps it requires to stay environmentally friendly in the eyes of the eco-warrior Lauren Selman, the sets environmental consultant. Facing internal sabotage and self-doubt, Selman and Bailey make a valiant effort to create a more aware crew and confront the looming low-budget woes which cause film crews to disregard their environment impact. The documentary sheds light on an issue previously not discussed and uses interviews with cast, crew and members of the community to illustrate an inconvenient truth; it's not easy being green. The film is thoughtful, unique and a must-see for any filmmakers attempting to minimize their carbon footprint.
