Award winning documentary following several marijuana farmers over an entire outdoor grow season.
This documentary chronicles the trials and tribulations of a unique group of marijuana farmers in Northern California.
Identified only by the color of the bandannas they wear to conceal their faces, Mr. Red, Mr. Blue, Mr. Yellow, and Mrs. Pink represent a growing segment of hardworking and passionate Californians. They are quasi-outlaws, plowing a delicate field between the lines of the law and the American tradition of sustenance. The backwoods setting narrows a distinct and sharp focus on the battle between the broad and mighty federal authorities and the sympathetic state enforcers, whose mandates are unfairly inverse.
Amongst the trees, mountains and untouched splendor of Northern California’s richest soil, these farmers wage a battle crafting the best yield of an unforgiving crop against the looming threat of DEA fly-bys,family and personal hardship, thieves, and the ultimate risk…prison time.

Jack Be Nimble follows the recently established Roll Series, an international competition circuit consisting of more than 50 inline street skating events across North America. Despite a lack of sponsorship to help fund their journey, a small group of young men embark 10,000 miles across the continent with little more than passion to help fuel their way.
