Jess and Kayley are two good friends who have sex sometimes. That's it, promise! But while Jess and Kayley like hooking up, it's not quite the dynamic either of them prefer.

HUMAN THEORIES Premieres at
Tribeca Film Festival!

After being on Esquire's List of The 45 Most Anticipated Movies on 2026 (alongside Wuthering Heights and The Devil Wears Prada 2) , HUMAN THEORIES by Jess Zeidman had its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival! We had four sold-out screenings and had such a blast! I play a quirky Bushwick hipster desperate to get laid.  An exploration of human connection in New York City, HUMAN THEORIES is an experimental indie feature with a massive cast of New York City's most beloved indie actors and comedians.
