A-OK, the brainchild of Central Michigan University student David Seger, is a collaborative effort amongst friends to make videos. Lots of videos. Started by David Seger and Delbert Shoopman in the Fall of 2004 under the name "I'm Okay, You're Okay Productions," the organization produced two television shows for CMU's campus cable station MHTV, won five times at Filmfights.com, and produced countless other films, experimental videos, and vidblogs. Most of these videos are archived on this site.

During the summer of 2005, a multitude of problems brought the I'm Okay, You're Okay domain and organization to its knees. It had tripped over itself and was too embarrassed to get back up again. It was time to make a change, and A-OK was born. A-OK is cleaner, sexier, more productive, less mess. A-OK is a frame of mind. A-OK is an ever-changing group of individuals constantly trying to learn more and have fun with the visual arts.

A-OK is currently producing a sketch comedy show for MHTV, a feature-length zombie film, and is putting finishing touches on the 40-minute short: Eritheia.
