Heroes & Villains,
On Thanksgiving Day, we released the Actionverse LA recap — a snapshot of an intimate but powerful gathering that marked a real turning point for Justice For Hire. See for yourself in this video:
I want to speak honestly about the event itself.
The room was big but attendance was small — intentionally so.Not because the value wasn’t there.But because I’m one human being with limited bandwidth to get the word out.
Between creating, shooting, editing, teaching, fatherhood, and keeping JFH and ReelwUrld alive every day, I don’t always have the capacity to rally the larger community, even when I wish I did.
Everyone in our community had access to this event.And what happened inside that intimate room is a reminder of something I’ve been trying to communicate for years:
If more people understood the type of access, opportunity, and creative empowerment JFH offers, they would benefit from it in ways I can barely explain.
That is one of my ongoing challenges — learning how to articulate the depth of what we’re offering, the value we’ve been sharing, and the doors that are open for anyone willing to step through.
Even with a small audience, the caliber of the people who showed up was extraordinary. Leaders from:
WWE
Star Trek
Immortal Studios
the independent action filmmaking community
world-class martial artists and creators
And one of the most meaningful moments was honoring Dan Curry, legendary Star Trek VFX Supervisor and lifelong martial artist.For me, Dan represents a lineage — a bridge between philosophy, movement, storytelling, and the future. JFH stands on that bridge. And we carry it forward in our own gritty, grounded, human way.
But the biggest shift of all came when we screened the first minutes of the JFH feature film.
The reaction was strong. Strong enough to shift my entire focus for the next six months.
I’ll be sharing more about that later this month, because it deserves its own dedicated space.But this is the beginning of a new chapter for our universe.
Before closing, I also want to highlight our friends at Immortal Studios, who are currently running a Kickstarter to expand their modern wuxia cinematic universe. If their work resonates with you, I encourage you to check it out and support:
Thank you for watching the recap, for believing in this mission, and for being part of this movement — whether you were in the room in LA or contributing from afar through your creativity on JusticeForHire.app. Your presence is felt in every frame we create.
More updates soon. This month matters.
With gratitude, clarity, and forward motion,
Jan aka Hero #0
