Be a Nice Guy, Not a Doormat with Pete Jones (Ricky Stanicky, The Greatest Beer Run Ever)

Some people might think that in a business as cutthroat as entertainment, ruthless cunning is the only thing that'll get you ahead. But writer-director Pete Jones is a living example to the contrary. An up and coming filmmaker who got his big break thanks to the Miramax sponsored competition "Project Greenlight," Peter Jones went from production assistant and insurance salesman to director and screenwriter almost overnight when he was awarded $1 million with which to produce his debut feature "Stolen Summer' (2002). He's since gone on to write multiple successful comedy films, including "Ricky Stanicky," "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," and "Hall Pass." Pete Jones IMDB Alex Keledjian Alex Keledjian is the creator of Project Greenlight, a documentary television series where executive producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck gave first-time filmmakers a chance to direct their first feature film.   In 2018, Alex wrote and directed the film High Voltage starring David Arquette and Luke Wilson.
