Each episode of the new season of “Project Greenlight” begins with a worthy mission statement. “We’re choosing a woman director,” executive producer Issa Rae tells us, “because ‘Project Greenlight’…
tells us, “because ‘Project Greenlight’ has never had one before.” Gina Prince-Bythewood, the director of films including “The Woman King” and also an executive producer here, adds, “It’s about time the world sees how many dope women directors there are just waiting to get their shot.”
“Project Greenlight,” as a franchise, does have a long history, albeit as a show that, somewhat like a highbrow “The Voice,” has always generated fun television without forging any lasting careers. It first aired on HBO in 2001, with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon providing guidance; its most recent season, in 2015, was most notable for a blow-up in whichwith producer Effie Brown, a Black woman, after she suggested that the crew for the film they were making ought to be more inclusive.
What Winbush, and directors like her — including the many who aimed for “Project Greenlight’s” spotlight and didn’t get it — are up against systemically is huge, and all too apparent. That’s so true, perhaps, that it became a tastier meal for this season to serve as a dissection of Winbush’s personality and manner.
