''Coffee & Donuts''

''Coffee & Donuts'' (2000) is a semi-biographical, lighthearted romantic comedy about two friends, Adam and Steve, who strive to launch their morning radio program of the small town, while Adam concurrently struggles to overcome a breakup. Green made the feature film for only $400, using equipment from the cable advertising facility that he was working for at the time and employing volunteers for everything from cast to crew. Green starred in the lead role, while other parts were played by Steven C. DeWitt Jr., Katie Bove and Jeff Davison. This amateur production has not been widely released. In 2003,

The pilot episode, being produced by Tom Shadyac's Shady Acres, was rejected and for the next five years, the rights remained with Touchstone. After regaining the rights in 2009, there were efforts to sell it to another network. However, the sitcom got canceled again. Eventually, the original concept was completely re-developed as ''Holliston'' and released by FEARnet . Green has since expressed his wish to independently distribute the original film, but also referred to issues such as the high price of clearing the soundtrack rights.

In press announcements, Green passionately assured fans, disappointed about the substitute director, that he personally oversaw all development. Though Green has clearly stated that ''Hatchet III'' is meant to be the end of the story, and that he always had set out to make a trilogy, he has also speculated that this is only the ending to ''his'' story of Marybeth and Victor Crowley and that fans could potentially see more ''Hatchet'' films in the future with a different storyline, different characters, and (possibly) different storytellers behind the camera.
