About 

Justice Jamal Jones is a filmmaker, director, and artistic alchemist based in New York City and Los Angeles whose career moves fluidly between narrative storytelling and commercial production. Whether creating award-winning shorts like How To Raise A Black Boy, which screened at over 30 international festivals including Sundance, or directing campaigns for brands like Converse, Calvin Klein, MTV, and ARRI, Jones brings the same cinematic precision and poetic sensibility to every project. Their work—spanning narrative, documentary, music video, and mixed-media forms—blends ritual, choreography, and visual storytelling to explore themes of memory, transformation, and ancestral connection.

A 2021 Sundance Ignite Fellow and a new member of the Explorers Club—a historic institution supporting scientific and artistic exploration through field discovery—Jones extends their practice into global research and on-location filmmaking. This engagement allows them to deepen their eco-spiritual, site-specific work, such as the mixed-media film Notes on a Siren, featured by NOWNESS, shot in the Cayman Islands in collaboration with the resort Palm Heights. Jones is also developing their first feature film about Haitian revolutionary Romaine La Prophetess, merging field research, archival excavation, and speculative storytelling.
