Real Life (2025)

A young filmmaker driven by nostalgia struggles to capture the reality of his life without losing himself in the process.

"A contemplative, patient record of two and a half years spent waiting for the story to reveal itself." - Dana Harris-Bridson, IndieWire

"There's something about that sense of self-reflection that is just inherently honest and aesthetically undeniable..." - David Lowery (writer/director)

"An 80-minute meditative slice of Generation Z life in which nothing much happens, yet everything is said." - Kendall Morgan, The Dallas Morning News

An experimental coming-of-age odyssey blending documentary and narrative, REAL LIFE is a raw, intimate portrait of youth, memory, and the creative process. Crafted entirely by Julian Sol Jordan without a crew, the film captures the beauty and confusion of becoming yourself.

Directed, shot, edited, by & starring Julian Sol Jordan.
