Synopsis: Project Greenlight 2: The Complete 2nd Season (2003)
Synopis: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's daring reality show Project Greenlight returns for its second season on HBO. Conceived as a vehicle for aspiring screenwriters, Project Greenlight functions as a contest whose winning script is produced and distributed by Miramax--with HBO recording the entire filmmaking process for a counterpart reality series. This time around, the competition is opened to both screenwriters and directors to allow for a more collaborative and realistic approach to filmmaking. As cameras follow the contestants and eventual winners--screenwriter Erica Beeney and co-directors Kyle Rankin and Efram Potelle--from their initial entries to the grueling interview process, and finally through preproduction and filming of THE BATTLE OF SHAKER HEIGHTS, the series becomes a dramatic and compelling look at the conflicts and compromises inherent in the team-based process of filmmaking.Features: Project Greenlight 2: The Complete 2nd Season (2003)

Pros: Great Features show more of the reality behind PGL
Cons: Some of the extras should have been incorporated into the show proper for DVD release.
The time and budgets are shortened and the stress levels are high on all of the winners of the PGL contest. But let's face it. that makes for some good reality TV.
The Battle of Shaker Heights has as much class as any movie in it's genre. It has heart and humor, well balanced and does the three project winners proud. The DVD, yes I actually bought and watched it BEFORE writing my review, has a little more of a glimpse into what really went on behind the scenes and not just the good for Reality TV stuff. These are some great talents that were put in a situation to make them look bad. It is good TV but not good business for the PGL Executives.
I recommend you get the DVD, watch the movie with commentary, and see a glimpse of some of the stuff that was cut from the series. These items shed a little more light on the fun the cast and crew had making the film and the dedication that was much more dramatic than blowing a few conflicts out of proportion.
To all the players in PGL, I commend the effort, and hope that those who put the show together can try not to use shock value in the future and show us why these people really do have a reason to love their work. ...
