Happy place is the debut screen play from Grover Cleveland.
Produced in its entirety by Up N Up Media LLC. This story follows Jerry as he
deals with hard times after graduation in his hometown of Des Moines Iowa. Jerry
attended the University of Iowa and was a star baseball player who got injured
in his last game as a senior. He was the stereotypical star athlete that had
everything given to him on a silver platter as a result he has to rely on his
work ethic and seemingly useless bachelor degree in Liberal Arts. The economy
is weak as well as Jerry’s connections to even a part time job. Jerry finds solace
in his faith and his fast pitch softball league filled with seasoned recently
retired gentlemen from various backgrounds, who refer to themselves as The Skippers.
Throughout his time with The Skippers Jerry learns what it really takes to be a
man, not age, nor skill, but decisions. He learns the Value of being faithful, both in
relationships and responsibilities. The value of family and a great team. He
even gets stronger in his faith. All goes well until a vicious tornado rips
through the community taking the lives of the team who had a practice. Jerry
was spared in the disaster because he had a job interview set up by the captain
of the team. Ultimately Jerry finds relief from his grief in what’s left of the
field in which they played on in which he deemed his happy place. Jerry gets
the job as a lead of an urban redevelopment project and vows to pass on the knowledge
and teachings of his fallen friends The Skippers.
