I'm Okay... starring, written, and directed by the many personalities of James C. Stewart
"Quirky and memorable with a hilarious performance from the lead" - One-Reeler Short Film Competition
"Witty and eccentric, the very short film — a clever cinematic version of a one-man show — is capable of entertaining using a single, simple scene, set in one single room with one single actor. The idea of letting the character speak and even discuss with himself, revealing the various forms of his psyche, and driving this to the extreme fiction of many personalities of the same individual arguing with each other, is a winning choice. And the result is hilarious." - Close:Up San Francisco Short Film Festival
