Liz Shannon Miller: Okay, so. When I first started watching "Project Greenlight" this season, I didn't have huge expectations, but I really got sucked into it. Beyond the fact that it's really compelling reality television (a genre that's not as easy to pull off as you might think), the producers this year took on the issue of diversity head-on, letting first Matt Damon, then anointed director Jason Mann become the representation of white male privilege within the Hollywood system. Whether you saw him as arrogant or passionate, there's no denying that through stubborn negotiation and determination, Mann did everything in his power to make the movie he wanted to make; which meant, for "Greenlight" viewers, the actual completion of his first feature film, "The Leisure Class," was loaded with huge expectations. That is, of course, if you watched "Project Greenlight." Kate Erbland: I, on the other hand, did not watch "Project.
