Jonah Hill To Launch Docu ‘Stutz’ At Fall Festivals; Due To Anxiety Attacks, He Will Take A Break From Promoting His Films

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve watched Jonah Hill rise from broad comedies like Superbad and the 21 Jump Street franchise to awards caliber work in films from The Wolf Of Wall Street to Moneyball and Don’t Look Up.

Hill has finished directing and starring in a documentary he shot in secret called Stutz. The title is derived from his therapist, and the film features frank discussions about mental health in general, and the progressive worsening of anxiety attacks involving the promotion of films that has made a dream job something of a nightmare for Hill.

So while Stutz will make its debut at the fall festivals, Hill has made a decision to try and let the work speak for itself.

He’s getting off the promotional merry-go-round, and has issued a statement to Deadline explaining why. He is not retiring, but Hill also won’t be promoting other work of his that includes the Netflix Kenya Barris-directed comedy You People, which Hill co-wrote with Barris and produces with the first time director.
