You Might Not

After a sudden, life-threatening illness forces him to step away from a career in firefighting, Zach Le is confronted with the fragility of his body and the loss of the future he once imagined. What begins as a period of uncertainty and grief becomes a turning point when he returns to painting. Initially as a way to process loss that eventually lead to a new source of purpose.

The film traces Zach’s evolution from adrenaline driven work to a quieter, more introspective life as a representational artist. As he currently builds a studio in Malibu and continues to navigate ongoing health challenges, his paintings become a way to make sense of instability, identity, and control. Through intimate verité moments and poetic visuals, You Might Not explores mortality, resilience, and the urgency to live with intention, asking how we redefine ourselves when life forces us onto an unexpected path.
