Jason Mann still plugging away

I poked around the internet to see what Jason Mann was up to, to see how he was faring years after the nightmare of Project Greenlight. Found a reel of his work as cinematographer. He's trying to find work doing that. He's clearly from a wealthy family. If he could feign enthusiasm for very low budget film he could be a major figure in that field. I searched his name and his old addresses came up. I looked them up on Zillow. People have made pretty good movies for what he pays in rent every month.

The premise of Project Greenlight was that Matt Damon and Ben Afleck were boy geniuses perfectly suited to discover geniuses like themselves and get them started in the movie business.

You know, Sylvester Stallone wrote the script to Rocky in just a few days and it was a far bigger hit than Good Will Hunting. You think HE should have gotten a show like this?
