As the world has slowly returned to work following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, we have spent much of the year talking about the future of work and subjects like hybrid workplaces and “quiet quitting,” an idea that swept across social media and advocated for doing the bare minimum at work. At the heart of it all is often the question about what a good work-life balance looks and feels like. In this short film, which is part of an ongoing series called Quitting Time, filmmakers Laura Coxson and Cameron Yates feature the story of Luis Jimenez, a New York City bus driver with an unexpected hobby. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] TIME spoke to the filmmakers and the star of the documentary about the importance of finding your passion. TIME: Why did you choose to focus on this subject, and how did you come up with the title, Quitting Time? Cameron Yates: I’ve always been intrigued by how people in various professions move between work and home and what they do to release after quitting time.
