The green-light decision process today consists of maybe of 30 or 40 people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A green-light meeting is when the decision is made finally whether or not to make a given picture.
The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion.
Try to rally up as many people as you can with as much information as you can to try to get it to appear in front of the right people in the organization who are the decision-makers to greenlight the project.
Light is the task where many share the toil.
It really annoys me when the light turns green, and you're behind somebody, and they're just sitting there looking at the light for about 15, 20 seconds.
'Green' issues at last are attracting serious attention, owing to critically important links between the environment and the economy, health, and our security.
Green issues have been used as a marketing tool. Sometimes these green claims are completely meaningless.
I'm a strong proponent of green tech for anyone who can afford it, having spent the last 40 years working toward achieving a smaller and smaller eco-impact for myself.
As a group, we want to follow good and green strategy. Setting targets is one element of that. The second part is to design products which meet environmental goals.
If you don't know what makes green, you're going to try every color combination.
