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.

story [8mm] from JJ Starr on Vimeo.

while spending some time with my grandma's i started to think a lot about my story, more specifically my family's story. i found a ton of 8mm rolls of film and went and got them developed. what follows is kind of a music video showing the "story" of my family. i think it's pretty cool.

global fast promo [whiteboard] from JJ Starr on Vimeo.

What if you could fast just one meal a week, and literally save a life? Your budget doesn't change, but your lifestyle does. It's about sacrificial living - being so committed to others that we make a sacrifice of ourselves.
