Director's Note
When I started sharing this story with some of my filmmaking friends and colleagues, they all began taking an interest in JJ. Before you knew it, we had people all over the United States who wanted to be a part of this project. I assume that our production team will significantly grow after The JJ Project gains even more momentum. JJ’s story is important to everyone because his is a story of courage, conviction, and tenacity.
