Stefan Hunts ultimately uplifting prose poem, Were All Going to Die, seeks to empower individuals to fear less and live more. Structured as a conversation between fear and death, the work emerged during a turning point in Stefans journey with anxiety. While everyone around him seemed to be kicking life goals, Stefan had been engulfed by fear of the unknown. He became so afraid of making the wrong decision and failing life that he found himself almost immobilised. While writing this poem about the one certainty he could find that were all going to die Stefan experienced a profound shift in perspective. Suddenly the small stuff seemed, well ... small. If lifes only guarantee is death, then why not take a few risks Now on a mission to spread this message, Stefan hopes to start a global movement, one life-changing realisation at a time.
It all began in 2006 when he packed his camera, headed to the USA, bought an ice cream truck and drove to all fifty states to make a documentary. No lie. This adventure set him on his way to directing films all over the world capturing beautiful stories, making new friends and eating tacos. No lie. But none of this really defines why he does it, and the why is important to Stefan. You see, he believes that creativity and social impact should not be mutually exclusive and his work consistently reflects this. Often narrating through the eyes of a child, his films are naive yet poignant and a reminder that we were all once children. He has gone on to collaborate with the biggest global brands, directing multi award winning documentaries, commercials, music videos and TV series. And through it all there will always be one sentiment. To inspire change through creativity. In 2017 Stefan launched his most ambitious creative endeavor titled Were All Going To Die. This consisted of a published book, short film and sold out multimedia art festival in Sydney Australia. The project aims to empower an audience to fear less and live more through humour, colour and death. It has since toured to New Zealand and USA. The following video is Stefans autobiography in moving colour, and a great insight into the project as well as the man: https://vimeo.com/277252568 You can see how comfortable and natural Stefan is talking about these topics, and how important it is to him.
