DSC_0905 copy.JPG Hi, I'm JJ

i believe that hard work and persistence in film-making, provides the opportunity to leave behind something greater than yourself.

i believe the most important thing in my life and the most important influence that i have in this world is not my ability to mess around with a camera, but it's about who i am as a person.

my passion is to tell stories that inspire others and i believe in the simple premise that storytelling changes the world.


my blog is like a journal where I post all of my recent work and create conversation around storytelling, so check back often and see what I've been up to.

beauty within the slum [a scene from africa] from JJ Starr on Vimeo.

so far on my many journeys through Uganda and Kenya my favorite part has been this short video. This kid lives in the Namuwangu Slum just outside of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. He's blind but is well known by all the people who work and live within in the slums as a "ray of sunshine". Upon meeting him he wanted to play his harmonica for us, and what follows is beautiful. Thanks to someone he will probably never meet he was able to receive money to attend a special needs school outside of the slum.
