Celebrating 7 Years of Heroes, Villains & JUSTICE 🎂🤜🎥🌎

We just hit a milestone together: 7 years of Justice For Hire. It means everything to me that people around the world have trusted me with their time and creative energy to build something bigger than any one of us. This week we’re celebrating the anniversary with new content, behind-the-scenes drops, and a ton of love for our community, starting with this 1.5min video of what we’ve made together and where we’re going:

Justice For Hire's 7th Anniversary video

Since I haven’t sent out a JFH Knuckle Sandwich Newsletter since May, I want to recap our summer, but before that, I want to take another moment to tell you how much this anniversary means to me personally and how grateful I am to EACH OF YOU.

When we started, we didn’t even have our own app. Just Instagram, YouTube, the original JFH comics and shorts I made coming out of NYU, and a teaser about how the story could invite anyone to join. From there, I hosted meetups in NYC where we trained, filmed, and built this world together—half in-universe, half behind-the-scenes.

Those meetups sparked film shoots, collaborations, and a growing story centered on one truth: the world can only be saved if everyone can be a hero. This community uplifted me through difficult times, and then I started seeing something incredible—JFH changing lives. People training as heroes were standing up to abuse, protecting the innocent, and making real-world changes.

That’s the real purpose of JFH: transforming ourselves while creating together. The films, shorts, and episodes we make are artifacts of that transformation.

And here’s the big announcement: with thousands of hours of content and characters from around the world, we now have enough to release a JFH FEATURE FILM.

This dream came true almost without me realizing it. Now, I’m ready to say it out loud. This is a historic moment—for humanity and for our community—to set an example of how to co-create, trust each other, and make playable cinema together.

So, yeah, it’s a big deal to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY DREAM COME TRUE.

Now, here’s our Summer recap:

☀️ Summer Recap

• June (LA): Two events at World Championship Karate Sports Academy near USC—with pro wrestler Zeda Zhang joining us. The energy was off the charts and you can see a teaser in our 7th anniversary video.

• July (San Diego): We hit Comic Con, filmed with our community, and have a fun and important announcement video about the JFH App on the way.

• August (NYC): We teamed up with the Legendary Cyphers crew (also JFH cast members) in Union Square. Here’s a clip of the freestyles that happened after we filmed an upcoming action scene.

🎬 Episode 9: Finding the JFH Voice

The last episode of JFH was so well received—by our own community and by creators I deeply admire like Roberto Nickson (RPN) and Macchiato Studios. Their feedback, along with yours, made me realize: we’ve finally found the tone and voice of this universe. This is the JFH Cinematic Universe we’re going to keep expanding on.

And this week, I’ll also release a BTS breakdown of our 7th Anniversary video, showing how I created and played multiple characters on screen—while staying connected to our community-driven story.

🚀 What’s Next

• More episodes coming soon (I’ve been talking with longtime cast member Lone Wolf about integrating his content into upcoming stories—you could be next).

• More Action Scene Events expanding the story world (DM me or hit justiceforhire.com/action if you want one in your city).

• The JFH Feature Film—built from all of our contributions—is in progress. There’s still time to share your own Missions on the JFH App to be part of it.

💬 From Me to You

You always have access to me. Always.I want your ideas In JFH. I want your scenes in JFH. I want us to keep proving that a shared cinematic universe can be built by all of us.

And whenever our content gets monetized or we get sponsorship opportunities, every JFH community member in an episode will share in the revenue.

Until then, I’m pouring most of my own resources into JFH daily (literally). For anyone that wants to support on our Patreon, I’ve put some nice perks on there from the JFH Vault (comics, exclusive videos, and more). All contributions go right back into making JFH.

Year 8 will be a game-changer.Thank you for building this with me.

With heart,

Jan aka Hero 0
