Award-winning filmmaker Sean McNamara (Bau, Artist at War; Reagan; Soul Surfer) is set to write and direct Blank Canvas, a new feature film based on the 2022 memoir of the same name by author, speaker, and artist Marcy Gregg. The project is currently in development under Brookwell McNamara Entertainment.
David Brookwell and Sean McNamara, the longtime producing team behind Brookwell McNamara Entertainment, will produce the film, with Will Crenshaw of Beaumont, Texas, serving as executive producer.
At the heart of Blank Canvas is Gregg’s extraordinary true story of faith, perseverance, redemption, and the difficult journey of rebuilding a life and identity after an unexpected medical crisis changed the course of her life.
At the age of 30, Gregg, a speaker, author, and professional artist, experienced a serious medical complication during childbirth that resulted in the loss of 13 years of her memory. Faced with the challenge of rebuilding her identity, relationships, and faith, Gregg embarked on a deeply personal journey of healing and transformation that would ultimately shape her life’s work and the message she shares with audiences today.

A woman of deep faith and compassion, Gregg’s life has been marked by service, creativity, and an enduring sense of purpose.

Blank Canvas marks the latest project in development from Brookwell McNamara Entertainment, with additional details regarding casting, production, and release plans to be announced as the project moves forward.
Known for her expressive oil paintings and vibrant use of color, Gregg’s work has been showcased in solo exhibitions and collected by private and corporate collections across the United States and abroad.
No release date has been set for the film yet.
