About me:



. . . VARIETY ANNOUNCEMENT . . .


. . . HOLLYWOOD REPORTER . . .

What makes the grass grow green?!

BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!

THE GRASS GROWS GREEN is named for a Marine Corps chant that attributes lush green grass to the blood of fallen soldiers. The film explores the often-forgotten reality that each life sacrificed is more than just a number.

The film opens in a working-class section of FORT WORTH, TX. STAFF SERGEANT LOBOS, a Marine recruiter with an unshakeable sense of honor, awakens to the news that one of his recruits has died in IRAQ. For the first time, Lobos begins to question his life as a recruiter. Wracked with guilt and mourning the loss of a young man he thought he'd saved from the familiar violence of the 'hood, Lobos attempts to clear his head as he follows his daily routine. But a seven-mile run and pushing papers at the office do nothing to purge his mind of the specter of the dead recruit.

As the day ticks slowly by, his coworker, STAFF SERGEANT WORTHY, pressures Lobos to seal the deal on another young recruit. Confronted with conflicting meanings of honor and duty - to country, family, and self - will Lobos be broken by his awakened conscience or does he have what it takes to be 'one of the few'?

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who watched me and wants to have a drink.

Someone who wants to help make me a feature.

Robert Redford.

Christmas is a season
of warmth and good cheer;
and I hope it fills
your heart and home
with happiness this year.
May you receive the true spirt
of Christmas this year.
I'll pray that God's blessings
are with you across every mile.
May you find much happiness
and many reasons to smile.
Merry Christmas!
