Green was an executive producer on Short Term 12, which was released in 2013. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award. One of the best-reviewed films of 2013, Short Term 12 garnered a Gotham award and an Independent Spirit nomination for its lead actress, Brie Larson.
Green was an executive producer on It Follows, directed by David Robert Mitchell. This genre-bending horror film was enthusiastically received at its world premiere at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
Green also shares an executive producer credit on Partisan. Directed by Australian filmmaker Ariel Kleiman and starring Vincent Cassel, Partisan had its premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
