Award-winning filmmaker Jillian Bullock, who is 64, is currently training in boxing for her upcoming film Rebirth, which she is directing, producing, and starring in as the lead actress.

With a lifelong background in martial arts and fitness, Jillian, who battled lung cancer last year, is preparing to get into true “fight shape” for a powerful story that confronts domestic violence through the lens of resilience, strength, and transformation. Her journey is not only about preparing for a physically demanding role, but about challenging deeply ingrained myths surrounding aging, illness, and limitation.

Now cancer free, Jillian has emerged with a renewed mission: to show people, and society, that it is never too late to reclaim mental and physical wellness, pursue bold creative visions, and step fully into one’s power. Through her lived example, she is inspiring others, especially those over 50, to redefine their relationship with age, health, and possibility.
