Sprout
Sprout is an otherworldly coming of age story following a botanical child, and a kind-hearted gardener who nurtures the child’s uniqueness when a prize-winning plant causes self-doubt.
World premiering as an Official Selection at Austin Film Festival, October 2021. Watch the trailer below.
"Sprout was born as a story about embracing what makes you YOU. It’s about feeling like you aren’t good enough, and the jealousy that can make us spiral."
"Sometimes we get so hung up on “flaws” that we can miss the fact that they are really the things that make us beautiful."
"That’s what Sprout is to me, it’s an anthem to everyone, because I think we all compare ourselves sometimes, but the important thing to remember is we’re all a little different and that’s a lotta cool."
