About this Short Film
Jessica Harden’s Jess and J.S (Australia, 2024) invites viewers into a quietly powerful reflection on achievement, family and inclusion. The short film highlights the experiences of a young adult with intellectual and physical disability, including Joubert syndrome and non-verbal communication, and shows how relationships and resilience shape everyday life. Shot with care and respect, it fits naturally within the Focus on Ability festival’s aim to celebrate the talents and stories of people with disability. Expect a sensitive, human portrayal that asks audiences to listen and look differently, recognising strength in small moments rather than grand gestures.
