The Film Crew of: I'm Fine, Thanks! |
The film is now available and it's definitely worth purchasing. Director, Grant Peelle, Producer, Adam Baker and their team travelled throughout
the United States for two months interviewing and spending time with people
motivated to change their life to live their passions and dreams. Rounding out
the team was- John Cropper, the Assistant
Editor and Camera 0perator, Bryan
Olinger served as the Director of Photography and Dustin Koester handling Sound and Audio.
I’m Fine,
Thanks features best-selling authors, bloggers, academics, and common folks
tired of being stuck in a cubicle or dangling from a corporate ladder. It’s loaded
with dozens of stories relating to the moment people became fed-up attempting
to live someone else’s life, keeping up with the Jones’s, realizing money
doesn’t buy happiness, the despair of debt and in some cases physically sick
from job-related stress.
Two of the interesting stories were the family living in a converted
school bus and an author who lives in a cozy 300-square foot home. The documentary
focuses extensively on those who realized the potential to live their childhood
dreams and the events leading up to that moment. Lots of minimalistic
living and the important role of family are heavily discussed in this superb
film.
Director, Grant Peelle narrates the story and he keeps the story
flowing with thoughts and emotion. You may recall reading about Adam Baker and his
family in Chris Guillebeau’s best-selling
book, The Art of Non-Conformity. Adam and his wife
sold all of their possessions to relieve their debt and move overseas.
My only negative statement regarding the film is the two “F” Bombs used weren’t necessary and it would have been educational to discover how the
families actually completed their steps (“The Forge” bus and cozy 300 sq. Ft.
home grabbed my curiosity) to change lifestyles.
Who knows, maybe that could be a follow-up project for Grant and Adam,
along with how Kickstarter played a
key role by crowd-funding this wonderful documentary?
I’m Fine,
Thanks is certainly empowering. The Cinematography and editing by Patrick Moreau of StillMotion is excellent. .
Grant Peelle, Adam Baker and crew are doing what the film
recommends-
“Live Your
Dream- Not The American Dream.”
I’m Fine,
Thanks is a
career and life changing work of Art! It’s a call to live your life. This
documentary proves that despite location, career, wealth and background
anyone can lead a fulfilling meaningful life simply by following their own passion
and dreams!

We Meet Again,
