Director Statement

"Some people would say, that the grass is greener on the other side. My thoughts have always been to nurture and fertilize the grass you do have and plant good seeds and provide water for nourishment, while also removing the surrounding weeds. Then your grass will also be just as green. You can apply this to your every day life. This documentary called DARK CLOUDS is a good seed that has been planted with nourishment while already healing those in the process whom helped created it. This film removes fear and adds love to help those with mental disorders to get the help that they need."
