Casting: 'I'm Not Ok'

After receiving a devastating break-up message, a young man spirals through late-night beers, therapy calls and dreamlike memories, eventually confronting his pain in an act of quiet rebirth. Deep down, I'm Not OK is about the quite, invisible process of grief and self reconstruction after emotional devastation. On the surface it follows Darius, a young man coping with heartbreak and depression, but beneath that where the real story lies. I'm Not Ok explores what happens when your identity is built around someone else, and what's left when they're gone. This is a story about masculinity, vulnerability, and the painfully slow work of healing. It's about learning that letting go isn't a single act, but a thousand small choices to exist without the weight of what broke you. Tone & Style Sad but hopeful. Poetic realism with dreamlike visuals. A deeply character-driven short about heartbreak, masculinity and mental health.
