It is Fine! Everything Is Fine. is a 2007 American independent drama film directed by David Brothers and Crispin Glover. It was written by and stars Steven C. Stewart. The story centers on a person with cerebral palsy. Production is credited to Glover's Volcanic Eruptions company, and it was shot in Utah. It Is Fine is the second in a planned trilogy of films directed by Glover (all of them under the amplificated title "A Crispin Hellion Glover Film"), with the other two entries being What Is It? and It Is Mine.
The film was completely funded by Crispin Glover. It was written by and stars Utah writer-actor Steven C. Stewart, who also appears in What Is It?. Stewart died of complications from cerebral palsy in 2001, only one month after principal filming wrapped.
Glover has said that the script was in the style of a 1970s made-for-TV movie, and said in an online chat that "It's an autobiographical, psychosexual, fantastical retelling of [Stewart's] point-of-view of life." Apart from the opening and closing scenes that were filmed in a nursing home, It is Fine. Everything is Fine! was shot entirely at David Brothers's sound stage in Salt Lake City, Utah. Glover has stated that it is "probably the best film [he'll] ever work on in [his] entire career."
This film premiered at the Egyptian Theater in Park City, Utah on January 23, 2007 for the Midnight screening as an official selection of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Crispin Glover and David Brothers were in attendance, as well as many of the cast and crew. Glover and Brothers introduced the film and conducted a lengthy question and answer period after the film.
