Filmmaker Call-Out: Full Crew for Short Film

Posted Wednesday 22 Oct 2025

Author/speaker Jess Stuart is pivoting to documentary for her next project, new to the filmmaking space and looking to assemble an all-women crew.

About the project:

What if, in the chaos of modern life, the most radical act is to return to what truly matters, to presence, connection, and home? A powerful, timely documentary exploring a radical idea in an overwhelmed world: that less is more, and being is just as important as doing.

In a world addicted to busyness, success, and screen time, The Art of Being Human invites us to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what it means to be truly human. What if the real rebellion in today’s world isn’t hustle, but stillness? One woman walks away from burnout to reclaim her life and invites us all to do the same.

Role/pay info:

At this stage Jess is looking to fill all roles (including producer) but have a skeleton crew plan with additional possibilities for extending that (plan B) subject to budget.  All paid and keen to make this project one filled by women.
