About this Video
The idea for this film stemmed from me entering a very new stage in my life. I thought I had made the wrong decisions regarding a breakup at the time and thought I had to live with all the negative consequences. I kept questioning whether I could've done things differently, convincing myself that things would've be better if I had. I was stuck in the "grass is greener" mindset for a long time until a close friend of mine explained to me the good things I had in life that I couldn't yet see. He simply stated the obvious to me: "The grass is green."

I'm Chris, a 24 year old filmmaker and UC Santa Cruz graduate based in San Francisco, California. I am an award-winning independent filmmaker who focuses on social-justice centered narratives with a strong emotional catharsis. I also have an extensive background in teaching and education. I'm currently the Education Coordinator at SFFILM (San Francisco International Film Festival) where I organize screenings for Bay Area students, and teach the Filmmaking Camp in the summers. I see my filmmaking style as a way of empathizing and informing; to enact social change, inclusion, and allow for a worldwide acceptance of different cultures.
