Sometimes, everybody wants to be somewhere else.

I'm Your Baby is an independent road movie from the heart of award-winning filmmaker Josie Fite. It's a deeply romantic feature film about two self-involved people, challenged to care for each other under unromantic circumstances.

Cookie is 23 years old. She's embarrassed, heartbroken, and six weeks pregnant. Robin is 32. He's a slightly manic, joy-seeking friend-of-a-friend, and he's her ride to California to get an abortion. The two hit the road as strangers, but their journey through the Southwest confronts them both with their need to be needed.

“Josie’s unflinching explorations of belonging and connection in an increasingly alienating world somehow straddle darkness and wit, realism and despair, fear and hope. She is a true artist, bold and resolved. If this is the future of American cinema, then we’re in good hands.”

–Chris Kelley (screenwriter: The Thicket)

If you like the bittersweet, off-kilter adventure of Little Miss Sunshine, the shaggy, soulful detours of Wild at Heart, and the honesty and yearning of Buffalo 66...

...help us tell a new story about care, connection, and little miracles found along the road.

Josie Fite is the writer, director and star of I’m Your Baby. This is Josie’s first feature film, but she’s no stranger to run-and-gun indie filmmaking - her shorts include BabyMan and Toughest Things in the Desert. She co-wrote and starred in the short film Sweet. Heart. Her experience in exploring strange, funny, human drama gives I’m Your Baby its one-of-a-kind spirit.

“The American road trip with a serious aim but also serious unforeseen consequences, including, friendship, growth, vulnerability, and trust. People like Josie are really our only hope, no pressure.”

–Tim Johnston (New York Times bestselling author of The Heartland Trilogy)

1 in 4 women in the United States will have an abortion. Yet it is still a stigmatized, complicated, and often dangerous process.

Currently, due to the Trump administration's attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, many clinics are no longer eligible for Medicaid funding. This will disrupt access to essential healthcare services like birth control and preventative care for millions of patients. With many locations shutting down, even if abortion is legal in your state, there is still a chance you will have to travel to find a clinic. If you catch it early, an abortion pill can cost up to $800, if you are later into the second trimester it can cost between $1,500 to $2,000.

Fiction is a helpful tool for opening doors to uncomfortable conversations. My hope is that this film will bring like-minded people together to be inspired to stand firm in making women’s healthcare safe, accessible, and affordable.
