Focus on Ability Film Festival
Eliza Brearley
Filmmaker • Australia
Eliza Brearley is a Central Coast–based model, actor, content creator and disability
advocate who is passionate about using her platform to inspire confidence, inclusion
and self-acceptance.
As the host of “Planet Jassi,” Australia’s first autism-focused YouTube channel, Eliza
creates uplifting and educational content that encourages children living with
disability to embrace who they are and celebrate their individuality. Through
storytelling, creativity and social media, she has built a positive and empowering
community for families, parents, carers and young people.
Eliza’s journey has seen her speak on podcasts, radio programs and at autism
conferences, along with performing in live stage productions and creative projects. In
2018, she completed the Showreel Course at Screen wise, one of Australia’s leading
film and television schools for actors, further developing her passion for performance
and entertainment. In 2025 Eliza was signed to ZBD Talent, an inclusive acting and
modelling agency.
In 2024, Eliza expanded her creative career into music with the release of her debut
single and music video, “I’m Just Doing Me” — a powerful reflection of her message
around authenticity, confidence and embracing individuality.
Through her work in entertainment, fashion and digital media, Eliza hopes to break
stereotypes surrounding disability and show others that having a disability doesn’t
define who you are. You are perfectly perfect when you do you.
