"I'm Fine, Thanks" Documentary Trailer
Description:

The film crew needs your help getting this documentary out to the world: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cranktank/im-fine-thanks

Filmed by a make shift crew of five filmmaking friends, I'm Fine, Thanks is a new, feature-length documentary about complacency. It's a collection of stories about life, the choices we all make, and the paths we ultimately decide to follow.

We examine the factors that motivate and drive our major life choices. And, most importantly, whether or not the path we follow through life - and the habits we form based on that path - are truly connected with who we really are as individuals.

This is a movie about the moment people realize the life they're living is not the life that's true to their heart... and, as a result, what they decide to do about it!
