Word of the Day: Greenlight

Categories:  Daily Advice

InstantCast Word of the DayGREENLIGHT – To formally approve production finance, allowing the project to move from the development phase to pre-production and principal photography. This term is used in many ways in Hollywood. For example, a project which is financed is said to be greenlit or greenlighted, and a studio executive who has authority to grant greenlight status to a project is said to have greenlight power.

    Good new word. I need to get a greenlight, be greenlit, or greenlighted for some retail therapy. ~ Janet

    Thanks for the word of the day. I’m enjoying these although this one was kind of confusing.

    I get it. It’s like the game we played as children: Redlight, Greenlight.
