Project Detail

Green Grass

Two figures stand in the sea, one is holding a workbook, the other is leaning over looking into the sea on an overcast, grey day. The sea that surrounds them is calm.

Synopsis

It’s no secret that Declan is the university class coaster, which is why his friends refuse to partner with him on their next assignment. Out of options, Declan is forced to pair up with Claire, the new Deaf student who is everything Declan isn’t; academic, driven and fiercely proud of her identity.
Set against the backdrop of coastal university life on the south coast of England, GREEN GRASS dips into the murky waters of strained friendships, sustainability, and D/deaf identity in this coming-of-age drama.

Director: Jeevan Singh

Year: 2026

A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
