Long Story Short: J.J. Anderson on Representation and the Beauty of the Everyday

J.J. Anderson is a self-taught filmmaker from San Diego. As a young child, J.J. was introduced to the power of storytelling while witnessing the exchange of testimonies at her parents' weekly Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Passionate about creating strong and authentic representations of women and people of color in the media, much of J.J.'s work focuses on uplifting voices of community members, trailblazers and modern-day leaders. J.J.'s purpose as a filmmaker is centered around the idea of representation. Her work consists of stories of truth, often working with non-actors and always on subject matter that resonates with her. J.J. is able to build intimacy within her projects by creating spaces that allow the people she works with to share their authentic beauty. In our latest episode of Long Story Short, J.J. talks to us about pulling inspiration from everyday acts, rooting for other independent filmmakers, and envisioning a world where humans show empathy for each other.
