What happens when the health guru of your town—the one guy who got everyone to love sprouts—is killed in a sudden accident? For his grieving widow Beth, navigating life without Sproutman isn’t easy, especially because her fitness freak neighbors can’t stop imitating him. Inspired by true events, SPROUTLAND follows Beth as she navigates the constant reminders of her deceased husband — in the local juice bar, in the yoga studio, and at home with her son. As Beth forges a path she neither expected nor wanted, she learns that life can hold despair and joy at the same time. Filmed on location in the Berkshires, this quirky, funny, and heartwarming short is the fiction debut of Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Cynthia Wade and is inspired by the life of "Sproutman” Steve Meyerowitz, as detailed in the book A Grief Sublime by Beth Robbins.
