filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

gfollari This documentary shows a real-life attempt at making a film set more environmentally friendly. It is very realistic, showing that making anything more green is challenging. Producer Miranda Bailey faces uncooperative crew members and challenges that show how negatively film production impacts the environment and how hard it is to fix that. I came away surprised at how negatively production impacts the environment and surprised that members of the production team weren't more caring. Unlike most environmental documentaries that are often accusatory, demanding that people do more, this film really shows how difficult that is in reality, while at the same time makes you want to do more for the environment.

Rodney Thompson (RodThompsonJr) GreenLit turns the camera on the film industry to shed some light on the problems with productions trying to stay as environmentally friendly as possible. Following film producer Miranda Bailey, this documentary visits the set of The River Why, as it attempts to film in an ecologically responsible way. Employing the help of environmental impact consultants, the cast and crew struggle to adhere to the policies set in place in order to be "green." Miranda's willingness to learn and explore the avenues that a production company can utilize to reduce their impact on the environment is noteworthy. However, the overall sense of the crew seems to be that the "green" policies are more inconvenient than helpful.The documentary turns to the waste management companies to get an inside look at the way our garbage is handled once it leaves our homes. Providing varying viewpoints throughout the film, we get a fairly wide representation of peoples' concerns about recycling.Surprisingly, the results of the "green" efforts on set turn out to be rather impressive, as the final data is presented. The film highlights the exuberant and sometimes illogical waste in the industry, while also showing room for everyone to learn more about what they can do to make changes. Overall, the message is clear. We can do better. We just need to start by making the small changes until we come to a point where we practice these habits naturally. GreenLit provides great examples, not only for filmmakers, but everyone to be more responsible with our environment.

erselya 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.

rockstarchi I saw Greenlit on VOD recently and I really appreciated the candid look at "greening" a film. Director, Miranda Bailey, follows the cast and crew of indie, The River Why, which she is also producing. The decision to green the set shows to be harder than it looks but every attempt is made to save the earth one film at a time. With the help of a green film consultant, we see their attempt to ditch water bottles for refillable ones, compost their garbage, and recycle everything. Miranda herself is a skeptic and her sense of humor shines through, making this doc a very real and relative tale of a widely ignored and important issue. Hopefully, more folks in Hollywood will see this than not and do their part to make a difference, no matter how small.
