A girl drowns on a pool, and is pulled out of the water; no breathing, but it's all right, it's ok. There are good guys around us when you least expect, from where you least expect. That is the premise of this other short film from Jim Cummings short film.
With a runtime of almost 3 minutes, It's All Right, It's OK throws us right into the middle of the above situation as a "guardian angel" (Joseph Lee Anderson) tries to save the girl. It's a true beauty to see how Cummings uses clever direction to reveal everything that is happening, making the story more complex, interesting, and of course, funny every second.
Again, Cummings script makes a really witty blend of tones, tragedy and comedy, and Anderson, who is the focus of pretty much the whole short is totally on board for it. His performance is equal doses of desperation, fear, earnestness, disbelief, and more... but none of them for more than five seconds. Can't be a good guy for five seconds.
