Project Greenlight is a filmmaking initiative that was launched in 1999 by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Chris Moore. The project aimed to provide aspiring filmmakers with the opportunity to create their own films by offering funding and support. It gained popularity through a reality television series that followed the production process of selected projects. The first season of Project Greenlight resulted in the film Stolen Summer, which was released in 2002. The program has since evolved, with various seasons and projects, continuing to focus on discovering new talent and promoting independent cinema.
