CCX, a searing urban drama based on his work as a criminal prosecutor, received widespread critical acclaim. His play The Cheek, an Irish family drama, sold out for many weeks in Chicago and was also produced in County Mayo, Ireland. The Cheek was his second production to travel to Ireland. Jim produced numerous one act festivals as Director of New Work at The Artistic Home Theatre in Chicago. He adapted his own play for the short Murphy's Law, a film by Dean Berdusis. Harold Ramis partnered with Jim to try to produce the television series he wrote with Greg Daly, Nicked.
