Introduction

I'm J.J., a filmmaker who makes things meant to stay with you.
I'm a sophomore at Duke studying Philosophy and Visual Media Studies. I've been making videos since 2019, and my work has passed 50M views, but I care less about being seen and more about making something that stays with a person for a day afterwards. This summer I lived in Santa Marta, Colombia, where I directed an 8-minute documentary on the women of the Teyku (Kogui) community. Jardeis is where my films, brand stories, and writing live.
