Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are bringing their reality TV series called Project Greenlight to Australia. It'll give local filmmakers an opportunity to win a $1 million production budget and theatrical release for their film.
Pay TV channel Movie Network will run the Australian contest. The series follows a group of directors as they make an independent film where a winner will be selected.
Entries can be submitted from Nov 10.
