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.

it ain't me [shots from africa] from JJ Starr on Vimeo.

so i sat down to familiarize myself again with the footage that i got while in africa and i just began pulling clips out that i liked. i randomly put a song with the video, and had no intentions of showing this to anyone, until alec convinced me to put it on vimeo. so this is just a short complication of some of my favorite shots from my almost 3 weeks in africa. eventually i'll be putting together some promo videos for the organization i was working with, but for now, enjoy the beauty!
