I think there's a very good reason Greenlight is only open to US citizens- unlike just about every other country in the world, the US government does not finance films. The rest of you bastards already have a leg up on us, now we've got one up on you.

: I am tired of things like this. I just see an news broadcast about the Green light screenplay contest and so my hopes are raised and then when I go over to the site it is open to only the members of the united states.
: Beefs with that:
: 1) With all the bad movies out there right now, wouldn't be great to pool more talent. IE from the US' largest trading partner, Canada.
: 2) Is this backlash from the SAG strike, I heard that at Parmount Studios they have an Canadian flag up with an x on it. Hey give props to "Hollywood North"
: 3) Once again my attempts to join a contest is ruined, Survivor 2 is only open to american citzens.
: Your not so friendly (after being screwed) neighborhood,
: Scarlet
: :The Greenlight is giving me a red glare
