Up+Adam for April 11 2026 Sponsored by The Mountain Air
What happens when you only have five days to create something meaningful and everything is on the line? In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Central Coast filmmakers Bettina Someros-Ching, lead actor and producer Steven Charles Ching, and actress and associate producer Angela Alarcon to talk about their powerful short film I Will Be Fine, created for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge.
Shot right here on the Central Coast and led by Atascadero local Bettina Someros-Ching, this project is more than just a film. It is a community effort built with heart, trust, and an all-in creative sprint. From last-minute edits under pressure to deeply personal moments behind the story, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to create something honest. Angela brings a global perspective to a deeply local production, while Bettina and Steven reflect on telling a story rooted in real people, real relationships, and real purpose.
• Created in just five days for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge
• Shot on the Central Coast with a local and regional team
• A story centered on resilience, community, and asking for help
• A behind-the-scenes look at the emotional and creative process
• Why “I will be fine” means more than we think
If you have ever pushed through something, leaned on others, or needed a reminder that you are not alone, this one is for you.
