Project Greenlight's Stolen Summer
Budding filmmaker Pete Jones's first movie (exhaustively chronicled in the 12-part HBO miniseries "Project Greenlight") finally makes it to the big screen. An 8-year-old Irish-Catholic boy (Adi Stein) tries to convert his friend Danny (Mike Weinberg), the terminally ill son of a rabbi (Kevin Pollak), so Danny can enter heaven. Was the film worth all the trials and tribulations detailed in the making-of documentary? Heavens, yes!
