About this submission

Grass Patch is the crystallization of all my thoughts, revelations, and traces of my steps in the big city. It is a journey of self-discovery, from the start to the goal, and all that's in between. Living in a fast-paced city can be suffocating, this film is a reminder to me that, in a world that is always rushing - a world that is full of conflicting thoughts - don't forget to find a patch of grass where you can breathe, and most importantly, dream.
