"Just Be" is a short movie about the art of living wide rather than living long. "Life's short, they say. But...maybe it's just long enough, if you live it right."

This line from the movie is a variation of thoughts from the philosopher Seneca, who basically said, that if you live a fulfilled life, it doesn't matter, how long it lasts. Reading his words left such a deep impression on me that I knew I had to make art out of his thoughts - especially in recent days, where everyone is always busy. So I made this short movie about our daily struggles, about passions, the love for mother nature, about freedom and about living a fulfilled life. Yes, it's two girls mountain biking, but the message is transferable to everyone, no matter which activity you choose outdoors.
