"The response in New York has been amazing," said Roebuck as he stood in front of his billboard-wrapped Winnebago Bus. "People are responding to the concept of the film, the spectacle of the giant poster art and the novelty of meeting the star of the movie right here in Times Square," he continued. "We have been holding word-of-mouth screenings each night as we travel across the country, and all this activity is building tremendous buzz and enthusiasm for the film. I don't know of any other film that has launched a similar road-trip tour, so we're excited to be forging this new path."

FILM SYNOPSIS: Audiences would be hard pressed to find a more likable protagonist in any film. GRACE, the title character, is funny, sarcastic, empathetic and riveting. But, unfortunately, she is going to die.
Although Grace's time is short, her positive impact on the world around her is monumental. The story is about a young girl who knows that she is dying. Grace goes into a funeral home to learn about death and ends up teaching the disenfranchised funeral director, BILL, about life.
We soon learn that while trying to "hedge the bet" about her afterlife possibilities she is also trying her best to prepare her mother, VENUS, for a future without her only child. Venus, we learn, is not dealing with the sad imminent truth well and is reverting to her old ways of drinking and "drugging." Simultaneously, Grace humorously hijacks an ironically named "EMBRACE LIFE" class offered by her hospital for children dealing with their own fatal diseases and moves it to the funeral home. Not only does she do her best to teach the adults in her life to live their lives to the fullest, she has the same effect on her peers. And she discovers love, herself.
Grace is also desperately searching for someone to take care of her mother. Will it be Bill, REVEREND OSBURN (the hospital's chaplain) or RON, the charismatic and successful author of a book about the afterlife. Once those around her actually "GET" Grace (meaning they finally understand her), every one of them is able to transition to their own new life.
"GETTING GRACE" is an extraordinary story with a lead character who affects a chain of positive events in the lives of all she comes in contact with…be they doctors or morticians or her own mother. Through Grace, her loved ones learn that life need not be lived long to be lived fully.
