Take Danny, the recently widowed mom in the low-budget charmer \u201cI\u2019m Fine (Thanks for Asking),\u201d which directors Kelley Kali and Angelique Molina\u2019s made on coronavirus stimulus check funds.<\/p>\n<p>Having lost her apartment during the COVID-19 crunch, Danny roller skates around a neighborhood of housing projects, fast-food joints and quasi-suburban homes trying to rustle enough gig economy scraps to pay rent and security on a new apartment. A visit to her presumptive \u2014 and understanding \u2014 landlord leaves her until the end of the day to secure the $200 she\u2019s short.<\/p>\n<p>Danny also skates around her and daughter Wes\u2019 predicament. She\u2019s evasive around friends and tells her bright and shining child (newcomer Wesley Moss) that the tent they\u2019ve pitched on the edges of Pacoima, Calif., is just them on an extended camping <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>. After all, Wes liked camping with her dad, so \u201cisn\u2019t this fun?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not, of course. They\u2019re unhoused and with that comes stress and no small measure of shame. Once Danny they emerge from the field where their tent is hidden and Danny drops Wes off at the sitter\u2019s, she is off and skating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Fine\u201d teases the structure of comedies in which something must be achieved in too short a span. Only, instead of ha-ha challenges, Danny encounters the poignant, the frustrating, even the perilous.<\/p>\n<p>First, she tracks down her hair-braiding clients \u2014 doing their plaits in backyards, masks on. When that isn\u2019t as gainful as she needs it to be, she delivers food for a Postmates-style <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>. It\u2019s all a little mad dash. Kali has an awareness of what can-do desperation looks like, while providing her character some serious skate skills. Cinematographer Becky BaiHui Chen keeps things fluid and brightly hued.<\/p>\n<p>The directors, their crew and ensemble do sweet work capturing the weight of a moment that has most everyone stretched thin. Kali \u2014 winner of a 2018 Student Academy Award for her short \u201cLalo\u2019s House,\u201d about two Haitian sisters abducted into a human trafficking ring \u2014 and Molina seem genuinely moved by the pressures the pandemic exerted on folks. (Still does.) Their benevolence infuses \u201cI\u2019m Fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danny\u2019s needs are dire, but her babysitter (Dominique Molina) needs her money, too. When one of Danny\u2019s clients comes up short, it\u2019s not karma so much as a sharp insight into Pandemic Econ 101. The lesson continues when Danny stops by a barber shop that doubles as a pawn shop, hoping to hawk a bracelet. Instead, the shop owner (played with an undercurrent of kindness by Ira Scipio) makes an offer on Danny\u2019s wedding band.<\/p>\n<p>Brooklynn Marie provides a spirited respite as Kali\u2019s blunt friend, who offers a thick blunt and plenty of advice. A cleverly shot, weed-induced sequence provides a smartly imagined pause in Danny\u2019s harried saga. Music by Erick Del Aguila and Jarrett Woo adds a counterpoint to her building worry.<\/p>\n<p>Co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n Deon Cole makes an intentionally funny-ish appearance as a dodgy dude in a sleek black Porsche. The actor from \u201cBlack-ish and \u201cGrown-ish\u201d is a producer and executive producer on the film.<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t really baddies here. A misread by a friend of Danny\u2019s husband (Andrew Galvan) seems more sad than dishonorable. Even the most dangerous encounter has an underlying rationale.<\/p>\n<p>If Danny\u2019s skating at first seems a bit of a non-sequitur (and so dang exhausting), it\u2019s worth remembering that the movie was shot in 2020 and the skating feels like an elegant low-budget, safety-first solution, one that also adds to the protagonist\u2019s unique journey. Danny\u2019s skating as fast as she can. And the film\u2019s makers are clear she\u2019s not alone in that. She trying to transform surviving into thriving. She\u2019s not alone in that, either.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
