O the Grass Was Warm!

Packing away at his late father’s apartment, a stoic man finds himself grappling with grief and anger. Unable to cope yet refusing to open up, he retreats from cold, harsh reality into a warm, fuzzy forest, where he is left alone and there’s no more emotion, no more pain, no more struggle.

Directed by Derrick Duan, O the Grass Was Warm! leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Francis, Lola Brady O'Sullivan, David Webb — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
