Lonesome Jim is a 2005 American comedy drama film directed by Steve Buscemi and written by James C. Strouse, based partly upon events from his life. Filmed mostly in the city of Goshen, Indiana, the film stars Casey Affleck as a chronically depressed aspiring writer who moves back into his parents' home after failing to make it in New York City. The film premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize, which it lost to Ira Sachs' Forty Shades of Blue.
