Greenlit…To Be Or Not To Be – When is Your Movie a Go?

Greenlit is a term of art in the entertainment industry when the heavens have aligned, and the “powers that be” (investors, production studio, or distributor,) have given authorization for the movie to go into production. Beware, however, that you are not likely to get this “greenlighting” authorization via a legally binding documentation that will actually protect you in the case the investor backs out.
