JJ, a 2024 graduate of the University of Southern California, has worked with numerous USC actors, filmmakers, and writers. Nevertheless, her voice and ambition have been most shaped by her independent endeavors.

She wrote, directed, sound-designed, and edited the short film Human Nature, which examines environmental destruction through the prism of a supernatural thriller. The narrative centers on a woman who trespasses on protected land and starts to experience nature's wrath. Her next project, Echoes of Obsession, was created in a remote cabin with a crew of three people. What the project lacked in resources it made up for in intensity, earning recognition for its taut psychological storytelling. 

JJ recently completed her feature film directorial debut, Mind Games. Supported by a dedicated team of emerging filmmakers, this project brings together the themes that define her work: identity, obsession, and moral ambiguity and marks the beginning of a career committed to bold and emotionally charged storytelling.
